Caption-based timed muting
Web player: no extension
Every Teacher Knows This Feeling
You’ve found the perfect YouTube video for today’s lesson. You’ve previewed it. But the moment you play it for the class, an unexpected word slips through — and suddenly you’re the one who played it.
WDST can reduce that risk on supported videos by using the caption track to prepare timed mutes. Preview the filtered playback before class because captions and automatic detection can still miss content.
Without a preview: unexpected language risk
With WDST: selected language mutes to preview
Classroom tip: prepare and preview the exact video before students arrive.
Ready Before the Bell Rings
Prepare in advance. Caption retrieval and filter preparation can take time.
1
Go to wedontsaythat.net
Open a modern browser allowed by your school. No WDST login or extension is required for the web player.
2
Search or Paste Your Video
Type keywords or paste the YouTube URL directly into the search bar.
3
Preview, Then Play
Check the ready status and heard mute timing. If projecting, share the filtered browser's picture and audio; native YouTube casting can bypass WDST.
Check Your Classroom Setup
Your school must allow WDST and embedded YouTube playback. Ask IT when browser, installation or network restrictions apply.
Chromebooks
Try the web player in current Chrome if your school's managed device permits embedded YouTube. The website player needs no extension.
iPads & Tablets
Embedded playback, captions and audio control vary by browser and device. Test the exact setup; do not assume tablet support or use the YouTube app.
Smartboards
Project the filtered browser from a compatible computer, including its audio. Test the output; playing directly in a TV app does not use WDST.
Windows & Mac
Use a current browser that supports embedded YouTube playback and captions.
Two ways to use WDST
Choose where you watch.
The free website player and the desktop extension are separate ways to filter language.
Watch on the original video site
For desktop Chrome on Windows, Mac or Chromebook—not TV or mobile apps. Enable optional Prime access to filter supported Amazon playback.
New accounts: 30-day Unlimited trial, no card and no automatic charge. Then choose $3.99/month or $36/year to continue.
