Youtube previews not blocked

My guess is that there is not a solution for this issue, but I'm keeping fingers crossed that there may be.  I have youtube blocked on my son's computer with Norton Family, which works fine when he tries to go to the website itself.  BUT ... I have discovered (after he did unfortunately) that links to youtube videos will play in "preview" mode within gmail messages, and within google docs.  Within a google doc he's even able to open a mini-viewer and watch the video.  If he tries to open the video in a new tab in a browser, it is blocked.  But he's already watched it at that point, so that isn't helpful.

I can't find a setting in google accounts to disable previews, and it seems that Norton Family doesn't recognize previews as actually visiting a blocked site.  Is there a Norton fix to this issue?

Hi lmjacks,

Thanks for reaching out to Norton Family forum.

Norton Family windows client does not scan within gmail messages and google docs to block YouTube preview.

Thanks,

Yes, I know ... obviously that is why the videos still run.  I'd suggest Norton add this capability, otherwise there is no real control over videos.
