Allowing Specific YouTube Videos/Playlist is a nightmare.Is there a Easy Solution Team

Hello Team,
I have one Request,
Allowing Specific YouTube Videos/Playlist is a nightmare.Is there a Easy Solution Team and why i am saying this is :

I am currently using SafeSquid-SWG in my College Premises.
And all my staff’s PC/Laptop traffic is going via safesquid and on safequid I have imposed few policies & restrcitions.
I have policy created for youtube videos wherein I allow only specific youtube videos for staff. So that, they can show them to the student in the lecture.
Due to which I am having frequent request for allowing videos/Playlist/channel etc.
Is there any easy way to allow only specific category of videos.
Because allowing a specific video on request is a very tedious job.
Is there a easy solution Team

Hello chinna,

Yes, we have a solution....
The latest Version of SafeSquid includes Integration of YouTube API. That means you can now create Policies on the basis of YouTube Categories.
You can allow videos of specific category.
Now need to add Videos / Playlist / Channel manually and then keep on adding as per users request.
If you want to implement the configuration at your college premises let us know your convenient time. Our support team can implement as per the time schedule.
Or we will provide you the document so that you can implement the configuration yourself.
The implementation part is quite easy...

1.Create a YouTube V3 API using your Google Account from given link : https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library
2.Generate an API Key.
3.Integrate the YouTube API Key in SafeSquid-SWG

Hello,
Support for YouTube Category Control has been incorporated in safesquid-2019.0623.2332.3-swg-concept release. You can now allow/block YouTube videos on the basis of your own specified video category.

But we recommend you to download and use latest SafeSquid package for best results.
