With the consolidation of streaming services, it can be difficult for parents to feel comfortable with letting their children watch a show or movie for fear of what might pop up next. Just this week, Disney announced that it would begin putting Hulu titles on the ostensibly more family-friendly Disney+ beginning in December for a beta period ahead of a full spring launch. The rationale is that the company wants to give adults enough time to set up parental controls that are appropriate for their individual families
But you don’t have to wait to make sure that the content that your family streams is acceptable if you subscribe to VidAngel. This unique tool works with most of the top streaming platforms in the world — including Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Paramount+, and others — by allowing adults to set content filters that will automatically edit out dialogue and full scenes from streaming content based solely on your individual specifications. Normally, this service costs $9.99 per month, but until Nov. 30, users can sign up with a special promo code to cut that price in half for the next six months!

With VidAngel, users can connect their streaming service accounts from a wide array of platforms and apply pre-set filters to thousands of films and TV series. The service offers both audio and visual filters, and customers have the option to modify their specific levels based on each individual title they watch.
Keep in mind though, that VidAngel does not work on every single streaming service and title. Due to agreements and deals with specific studios, streamers, and production companies, VidAngel might not be able to provide filtering on certain movies and shows, even if they are available on a platform that VidAngel otherwise works with.

What Content Does VidAngel Allow You to Filter?
VidAngel subscribers can use the service to edit foul language, nudity, drug and alcohol use, violence, frightening images, and more to varying degrees based on user preference. VidAngel does provide filters for racial and bigoted slurs, but it does not allow users to filter for race, skin color, religion, or sexual orientation.

How Much Content Does VidAngel Edit Out?
That depends on the settings. The GIF below shows how users can edit a particular title to their liking — in this case, the STARZ series “Outlander.” Customers can remove all potentially offending content entirely, or mix and match which aspects they’d like to see less of and which they’re fine with.
VidAngel
VidAngel is a video streaming service that taps into your streaming subscriptions and filters out all the “bad stuff.” With customizable filters, language that you don’t want to hear or images you don’t want to see are automatically removed from what you are watching. While it doesn’t work for every service, movie, or TV show, there are thousands of titles available to filter – ranging from new releases to older films.
