Screen Time: Safari block down to specific site path

For my kid, I don’t want full YouTube access but want to see about access to one specific channel (path) that has a fixed URL (youtube.com/<channelname>.

Does ScreenTime Web Content approval allow filtering to a specific path on a site?

Youtube screen time bypass using google embedded youtube previews. youtube.com and Youtube both are blocked in screen time settings, however it still can be accessed through google search by searching up the video and pressing the preview button with two arrows. He can preview the videos by clicking on the YouTube video search results and watch them in preview overlay within Safari. Because the website is still on google, screen time doesn’t block it. Are there any ways to solve this?

Screen Time Limit Loopholes So, I have quite a bit of experience with breaking screen time limits, and it surprises me how many different methods you can access content on complete downtime. I'm sure there may be a plethora of other ways to break it, but downloading files seems completely untouched. Downloading .mp4 videos can actually be done with some searchable youtube to mp4 websites (can be blocked, but 1 more minute breaks it) Well, Apple did think of blocking .mp4 files in the Files app (congratulations). However, it isn't blocked like this through two methods: Shortcuts has features called "Select Files" and "Quick look"/"Show result". If you link these up, you get unblocked .mp4 files completely free to watch. This is slightly complicated since Siri and Shortcuts can be blocked in Downtime, but however the Home Screen Shortcuts Apps aren't. Safari Download tab can be utilised by doing the downloading mp4 method, then immediately watching them in the download tab with no restraints. But, nobody is going to see this, are they.

No.

Screen Time blocks access to the video via URL If the child uses the URL they won't be able to access it. However, since the YouTube app itself isn't restricted, the child can still find and watch the video within the app
