What is VidAngel?

VidAngel is a third-party video app that allows you to skip and filter content you may find objectionable (i.e., nudity, sexual activity, graphic/violent scenes, profanity and slurs). Its services do not modify the content, but you can customize it to skip scenes or bleep out audio.

The video service is subscription-based and compatible with popular streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, and Paramount+.

VidAngel is compatible with iOS and Android mobile devices, computers (via the website) and streaming devices like Apple TV, Fire TV, Google TV, etc. However, like most good things, it has its downsides.

First, due to geographical and copyright limitations, VidAngel’s services are only available in the US and its territories (Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, etc). Next, it is not licensed to filter shows from studios like Disney, Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, and their subsidiaries.

Perhaps the worst of the downsides is that VidAngel is no longer available on Roku players—the most popular streaming device in the US. While there are alternative streaming devices still compatible with VidAngel, you might prefer to find alternatives to VidAngel altogether.

In the following sections, we will review VideoSkip, EnjoyMoviesYourWay, ClearPlay, and BleeperTV—four platforms that offer content-filtering services. Find out how they work and learn how to use them.

VideoSkip is a web-based content-filtering service that functions similarly to VidAngel. Like the parental guide categories on IMDb, it can skip whole sections of content, mute sounds, or blur the screen in graphic scenes.

Because it is a free platform, VideoSkip’s services are not as extensive or customizable as VidAngel. You can only set filter strength according to the audience; High for kids, Medium for teenagers, and Low for adults.

VideoSkip is a browser extension on Google Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. After installation, users can create, download, sync, and share skip files for different movies from the website.

Here is how to use VideoSkip

Step 1: Open your preferred browser and download the VideoSkip extension (Google, Firefox or Edge).

Step 2: Go to the VideoSkip website and enter the movie you want to watch in the search bar. If skip files are available, download one with your preferred filters.

EnjoyMoviesYourWay offers free and paid services at $5.99/month. The free plan comes with a 1-minute intermission every 15 minutes—fair deal if you do not mind interruptions.

The app can block out crude language, violent scenes, sexual content, suicide, and other disturbing images. However, only the profanity filters are available by default.

Filters for nudity or violent scenes are only available on shows fully tagged by the app’s team or other users. Where these filters aren’t available, you can create and edit them on Tag mode, which is available on all platforms except Roku.

You can stream a selection of free movies on the app and apply content-filtering features, but certain movies will require that you link your streaming accounts, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock, YouTube and Disney+, to gain access.

BleeperTV

BleepterTV is a video editing platform that currently focuses on filtering profane language. However, they plan to expand their filters to include nudity and violent scenes in the near future.

The pricing for BleepterTV is $3 per month, but you can get a subsidized annual subscription at $30.

Conclusion

Although VidAngel offers a wide range of filter customization options, it is incompatible with Roku Devices. If you’re a Roku user, VideoSkip and the other platforms explored in the article will work for you.

VideoSkip is a free platform, but EnjoyMoviesYourWay, ClearPlay and BleeperTV offer paid plans that are more affordable than VidAngel. Also, if you’re only looking to filter language, check out the BleeperTV app first—it might just be what you need.
