Youtube - force restricted mode on iPads

[Bev]

I have followed these instructions

 

Setting up and Enforcing YouTube Restrictions with Windows DNS

to force youtube into restricted mode - that is working well on PCs, and I have GAFE working to approve the videos.

 

However, we are a 1-1 iPad school, and the DNS redirection doesn't seem to apply to iPads.

 

Is it possible to force all traffic into restricted mode?

 

We are using Fortinet, and I have Youtube in 'strict' mode but this doesn't seem to be the same as restricted, and I also have lightspeed MDM but I can't see a way of forcing restricted mode using that either.

You would need Lightspeed Relay or another solution to enforce these policies on iPads as users are not signed in to them.

I've had the same issue using DNS to enforce Youtube restricted mode on iPads.

 

I have been meaning to try Chrome as the browser on our iPads as I think this is a Safari issue. May be worth a go but not ideal as it may be difficult to enforce the use of Chrome.

Using Safari for Youtube access instead of the app does give the web filter a better chance of modifying behaviour of Youtube but https inspection has to be enabled for Youtube in order for most of those mods to work. QUIC has to be blocked as well. Edited June 9, 2020 by ibpalle
