Problem: SmartPlay's fixed ML categories force IT admins to constantly manage one-off channel and video allows for safe, non-standard educational content (e.g., audiobooks, specific technical build logs, literature readings). Proposed Solution: Add an admin-configurable natural language steering field at the policy and OU level. Admins can enter natural language guardrails (e.g., 'Allow audiobooks even if tagged as entertainment', 'Block reaction videos and Twitch VODs') to guide the underlying SmartPlay classifier across video titles, descriptions, and transcripts. Benefits: • Slashes daily manual YouTube unlock tickets for IT teams. • Keeps content safe while giving teachers immediate access to legitimate educational media.

Would like the ability to customize the logo on the block page with district logo to replace the default logo that appears from Lightspeed.

Good morning, When a staff reaches a blocked site, would be nice to have a link they can click to unblock the site. When they click the link an email would go to the district tech department for review.

What we have found with Smart Play only is that if you choose not to use block non-educational videos, a large number of inappropriate videos are visible. This has been logged with an agent who shared my concern. A number of tests were done, when using smart play only we could view videos such as "Twerking" videos which subsequently were allowed. Women wearing next to nothing twerking. This was also noted that smart play appears to bypass Youtubes built in age restrictions for videos. This video on a personal device asked to be logged in from google but not on the smart play device. Given that the blurb states "Smart Play is an education-focused, machine-learning categorization of videos that allows educational videos and always blocks mature videos. Supported for YouTube." We were disappointed to see this. We compared smart play to youtubes restricted mode which we found to be much better at filtering out these inappropriate videos but then we were unable to add custom videos to a list to allow this. One suggestion we discussed was unknown YouTube Videos being blocked by default. Ideally there needs to be a bit of a review of this as it does mean that there seems to be too much access within youtube. NSFW warning on the attachment, has examples of the issue

We have 4 admin on our Lightspeed. It would be nice if there was a quick, easy way to set a vacation pause on my own account and not affect any other admin accounts. Is there a way to do that?

Would like the ability to schedule temporary rules & allows that self-delete upon expiration. Useful for sites that use seasonal and/or annual time restricted urls for events, holidays, etc.

District wants the ability to add their ticket system link to request a re-categorization for staff members but not students. To do this, they would need a separate customizable block page for staff vs students vs unknown users.

Suppress the reboot for agent updates for Filter on Windows - For example: scheduling options can be done on the sccm side for manual update // however, if we want to use auto update function within Lightspeed, it would be ideal to be able to either schedule the reboot/update or to select/target specific groups one or a few at a time.

Customer would like to see traffic/if users access a site on the SSL decryption for troubleshooting purposes.
