Creating Chromebook Groups

To create Chromebook groups, click Add Group, define a Group Name and configure the settings as required.

To filter using a blacklist, select the Blacklist Mode option. Chromebooks will be blocked from visiting any site you add to the blacklist. To add websites to the blacklist, enter the URL into the Website URL field, select Blacklist (block), then click Add Domain. When you add domain to a list, it affects all paths from that domain. For example, if you added www.example.com to the blacklist, then www.example.com/login would be blocked when Blacklist Mode is active. To remove a URL from the blacklist, click the X icon.
To filter using a whitelist, select the Whitelist Mode option. Chromebooks will be blocked from accessing all websites except the ones you add to the whitelist. To add websites to the whitelist, enter the URL into the Website URL field, select Whitelist (allow), then click Add Domain. When you add domain to a list, it affects all paths from that domain. For example, if you added www.example.com to the whitelist, then www.example.com/login would be permitted when Whitelist Mode is active. To remove a URL from the whitelist, click the X icon.

Enable the Block Comments option to prevent users from leaving comments on YouTube videos.
Enable the Block Sidebar option to hide YouTube's Recommended Videos sidebar.

To block specific channels, enter the channel name or URL into the YouTube Channel URL or Name field, then click Block Channel. For example, to block the NFL channel, you could enter www.youtube.com/nfl, or just nfl.
