Windows 10: How do I block YouTube in Microsoft Family?

How do I block YouTube in Microsoft Family?


I have looked EVERYWHERE and cannot find a way to block it.

• Under the Content Restrictions tab > Always blocked, there is not a way to add a blocked App, Game, or Media
• Under the Content Restrictions tab > Web browsing, there is only an option to add "Always allowed" websites, whichdefeats the purpose of limiting content for a child

Can someone help a mother out here?

Microsoft Family blocking youtube and google

To help us pinpoint the root cause of the issue, we would like to know if you also experience the issue with other Google websites? (Gmail, Google Maps, etc.)

Kindly also try to use a new InPrivate window and try to visit YouTube and Google again. Follow the steps below:

• Open Edge.
• Click on the three dots icon on the upper-right part of the screen.
• Click New InPrivate window.
  

We also suggest that you use the Feedback Hub to help us make Windows and Microsoft Family better. You can provide feedback about Microsoft Family by sharing your suggestions or problems.

You can access the Feedback Hub by clicking on Windows Feedback on the app list. You can also type
Windows Feedback on Cortana.

Keep us posted on the status of the issue.
