Req 2.28: Provide YouTube and streaming controls including:

⚙️ Technical Demonstration

IMTLazarus natively fulfills this requirement through a dedicated, multi-tier YouTube filtering module that isolates and sanitizes streaming environments. The platform provides comprehensive compliance across all three vectors:

Distraction-Free Interface Stripping: Features native toggle controls under the Options tab to granularly sanitize the YouTube UI, allowing administrators to hide recommendations, remove comments, obscure thumbnails, and block the sidebar layout.

ML-Based Classification: Integrates directly with machine-learning analysis parameters to classify video payloads dynamically based on real-time educational suitability.

Channels/Videos Blocklists & Allowlists: Supported via separate administrative tabs (Videos, Channels, Categories) allowing explicit control over specific streaming assets alongside broader algorithmic topic restrictions.
