YouTube is a fantastic platform with the addiction rates for video streaming at a much higher rate. Compared to other video streaming platforms, the watch hours on YouTube can be counted in billions. The next perk of YouTube is the availability of content in nearly 80 languages, which means approximately 95% of the global Internet population. No other platform can grab so much of children’s attention, enthusiasm, and interests as YouTube does. The average daily video watch on YouTube is over five billion, and the average minute video upload is over 300 hours! The best part is that 70% of YouTube’s view hours are generated from your mobile phones, which can be carried everywhere.

Although YouTube has many perks, excessive browsing and video streaming over the platform can not only hinder workflow but cause great distraction among students. Extended screen time has a poor effect on mental health and eyesight as well. Therefore, restriction becomes mandatory.

Key Highlights:

• Find an add-on for blocking websites in the Chrome Web Store or install an app from a third party.
• Add the website to the extension’s or app’s block list to prevent access to YouTube.
• Look for an app on the Chromebook that requires a password or PIN to edit or delete; then, you can secure it.
