How to block Roblox videos on YouTube
Block Roblox gameplay, event streams, and game clips on YouTube with title and channel rules for your child's computer.
What Roblox videos cover
Roblox videos cover thousands of games inside one platform. Common uploads include Brookhaven roleplay, Blox Fruits updates, Adopt Me trading, obstacle courses, trolling videos and long streams around live events. The word Roblox may appear in a thumbnail but not always in the title.
A child can move from a game guide to creator drama, spending tips, trade videos and hours of live chat. Parents often want to cut the YouTube loop while making a separate choice about game time. That calls for video title and channel rules, not a block on the Roblox app.
Title and channel rules to use
These are plain text block rules that work with Vidward’s current rule engine. They do not use regular expressions. Add only the values that fit what your child watches. A channel rule hides every upload from that channel, not only videos about this topic. Use one only when you want the whole channel hidden.

Channels to block

Roblox is the widest rule. Add a game name if only one part of the platform causes trouble. Two of the game names carry other meanings: Adopt Me also appears in pet adoption videos, and Brookhaven is a national laboratory as well as a set of towns and schools, so write it as brookhaven roblox unless you want the wider net.
Add the rules in Vidward
- 1Create your free Vidward account. The trial runs for 7 days with no credit card.
- 2Add your child in the dashboard and note the activation code it shows. The code is reusable and stays valid until you regenerate it.
- 3On your child's computer, install the Vidward extension from the Chrome Web Store, open its welcome page, and enter that activation code to link the computer to your child's profile.
- 4If the child uses Block specific content, open the Channels tab and add one rule at a time.
- 5For a title word, reopen the form, choose Block, select "Words in the title", then paste the value and save.
- 6For a channel, reopen the form, choose Block, and select "Channel" rather than "Channel name". "Channel" gives you a search box: type the name, then pick the channel from the results. That stores the channel's own ID, so the rule cannot match a different channel that happens to share the display name.
- 7A browser that is already running can take up to five minutes to fetch dashboard changes. Restart the browser to fetch them sooner.
Using Approved channels only?
That strategy blocks videos from channels you have not approved, but Shorts can still slip past it. Do not paste these channel names into the Approve form because that would let the channel through. Leave them off the approved list instead. Turn on Block Shorts in Filters if you want those clips hidden too. Title word rules are not available in this mode.
What YouTube gives you built in
Can YouTube block every Roblox video?
YouTube has no Roblox topic switch for regular accounts. A parent can block specific channels on a supervised child account, and YouTube Kids can use approved content only. Those settings do not match Roblox game names across every upload. Don't recommend channel changes suggestions from one source but does not stop search results or direct links.
