Content-aware Module detects and blurs explicit, violent, or inappropriate images and videos to create a safer digital environment. You can adjust the sensitivity level of image and video blurring to suit your school.

Sensitivity levels
When Content-aware checks a piece of content, it determines how confidently it falls into one of the categories. The Sensitivity Level you set determines the confidence level at which content will be blurred.
|
Sensitivity level |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Low |
Blurs content when there is greater detection confidence, resulting in more accurate blurring of the matching content. However, marginal content may not be blurred. Use this option for categories where you don’t need strict blurring. |
|
Medium |
Blurs content at a moderate detection confidence, which may result in more false positives, but also reduces the chances of students seeing content that may be inappropriate. |
|
High |
Blurs content with less detection confidence, resulting in a higher chance of false positives. |
Additional features
Video
Video blocking
Video blocking will stop a video from playing (including audio) and prevent the user from playing it again. It takes five seconds for Content-aware Module to analyse and block a video, and the audio may still play during that time. Users will see the blurred video player and won’t see any options or buttons.
Exclude YouTube channels
If you want users to see all videos from a specific YouTube channel, you can exclude that channel from video blurring. You can exclude up to 50 channels.
General
Excluded Domains
If you don’t want Content-aware Module to blur content on specific domains, you can exclude them from image and video blurring. You can exclude up to 50 domains.
Guilt by Association
Guilt by Association will blur all images and videos on a webpage if the Content-aware Module determines that the majority of the page's content is inappropriate. For example, if a user does an image search and 6 of the first 12 images on a page are deemed inappropriate, Content Aware will blur all images from this search.
