Block all Streaming Media

[Dipen]

I need to block all streaming audio/video. No only Youtube but streaming media needs to be blocked in News Websites as well like BBC, CNN, etc. Blocking FortiGuard category " Streaming Media" does not prevent streaming in News Websites. How to block all Audio/Video Streaming in FortiGate ver 4.0 MR3

did you try this settings under app control? (see the attached file)

Wanted to achieve the same using Web Filtering Only without going for " Application control" .

App.Control block the traffic on L7 (regardless of source/website). Webfiltering are a " human" based categorization. So, the best way will using App.Control.

By URL alone, how do you know the difference between a Youtube search and a Youtube stream? Application control analyzes the actual packets giving you more control over content than URL filtering alone (similar to AV).
