When a student is blocked from a website or YouTube video by a GoGuardian Admin Policy that has Teacher Override enabled, you can unblock that site for your class.
Things to note:
- Unblocking applies to all students and lasts for the duration of the class session
- You may choose to unblock an entire website or just a specific page
- Certain Admin policies may prevent you from unblocking. Submit a tech ticket to request student access.
