Description This article describes the way videos are filtered based on the default action value in video channel override configuration.
Scope FortiGate version 7.0+.
Solution

To understand how Video filtering is:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.0/new-features/190873/video-filtering

 

Unlike web filters, channels /categories are allowed or blocked based on the default action in the video channel filter. The default action is defined under the following commands:

 

# config videofilter youtube-channel-filter
    edit 1
        set name "test"
        set default-action monitor  

end

 

If default action is allowed, the following action is taken:
Default action allow + entries action allow = allow by entries action.
Default action allow + entries do not match = allow by default action.
Default action allow + entries action monitor = block by category.
Default action allow + entries action block = block by entries action.


If default action is monitored, the following action ise taken:
Default action monitor + entries action allow = allow by entries action.
Default action monitor + entries not matched = block by category.
Default action monitor + entries action monitor = block by category.
Default action monitor + entries action block = block by entries action.

 

If the default action is blocked, the following action is taken:
Default action block + entries action allow = allow by entries action.
Default action block + entries not matched = block by default action.
Default action block + entries action monitor = block by category.
Default action block + entries action block = block by entries action.
