How to block xQc on YouTube

What is xQc?

xQc is a former Overwatch pro turned one of the most-watched variety streamers in the world. His YouTube channels carry stream highlights, reaction content and gameplay.

Is xQc appropriate for kids?

The content is adult by default: rapid profanity, crude humor and unfiltered reactions to whatever the internet serves up. His streams also went through a heavily publicized casino-sponsorship era, normalizing slot content for a young audience. Clips of him saturate Shorts through unofficial channels, so feed-level limits matter as much as the block.

Whether that fits your child is your call. If you decide to block the channel, here is how.

Block xQc with Vidward

1. 1
   Create your free Vidward account. The trial runs 7 days with no credit card.
2. 2
   Add your child in the dashboard and link their computer by typing the one-time code into the Vidward extension in their browser.
3. 3
   Open your child's Filters tab, search for xQc and block the channel.
4. 4
   Done. xQc disappears from search, the home feed, recommendations and direct links in their browser, and every change you make syncs to their device.

Does YouTube have a built-in way to block a channel?

Not really. YouTube's "Don't recommend channel" option only trims the home feed. xQc still shows up in search results, in Shorts and through direct links, and your child can undo the setting in two clicks. Restricted Mode filters some mature content but cannot target a specific channel. That gap is exactly what Vidward covers.
