How do I block Youtube without using Video Hosting Category

Question

Hi 
 I have a requirement to block some streaming sites such as Youtube from user access. I know it can be done by using the native default Video Hosting Category. 
 However, when we use that, it block all video hosting services. I want to use more specific sites and block only a subset rather than the entire set. 
 Can someone help me with that? 
 I am using XG115.

Hi, 
 you can create your own policies set to deny the applications you wish to block. Then add them to your web or application settings on the firewall rule.
