Is there a way to allow embedded youtube video when www.youtube.com has been denied in the policy?

Resolution

In this example, the customer is blocking www.youtube.com in the policy, but wants to allow embedded youtube videos in a website:

1. Launch the Visual Policy Manager.
2. In the Web Access Layer, add a new rule above the rule that denies www.youtube.com.
3. Create a Combined Destination Object in the Destination column.
4. Create a Request URL object with the Regular Expression Match option selected. Enter the URL in the RegEx field:
   

   youtube.com/s?el=embedded

5. Repeat step 4 for each of the following URLs:

   youtube.com/videoplayback
   youtube.com/crossdomain.xml
   youtube.com/get_video_info
   youtube.com/embed
   ytimg.com

6. In the Action column, choose Allow.
