Improve replacement message displayed in blocked videos

Note

This information is also available in the FortiOS 7.4 Administration Guide:

This enhancement improves how a replacement message is displayed for YouTube videos blocked by video filtering. When a user visits a video directly by a URL, a full page replacement message is displayed. When a user loads a video from the YouTube website (homepage or recommended videos), the page loads and the replacement message is displayed in the video frame.

For more information about configuring video filters, see Filtering based on FortiGuard categories and Filtering based on YouTube channel in the FortiOS Administration Guide.

Example 1: blocking the video based on the URL

In this example, the user entered the URL of a blocked channel ID in their browser. The replacement message is displayed in the browser (full page).

Example 2: blocking the video based on channel ID on YouTube

In this example, the user visited a blocked channel ID on the YouTube website. The replacement message is displayed in the video frame.

Example 3: blocking the video based on FortiGuard category on YouTube

In this example, the user visited a video on the YouTube website that belongs to a blocked FortiGuard category. The replacement message is displayed in the video frame.
