With VidAngel, you can skip or mute whatever you don’t want to see or hear. It’s entertainment on your terms, not the algorithm’s.

How Does VidAngel Work?

VidAngel connects with your existing streaming subscriptions and adds a customizable layer of control. You decide what gets muted or skipped—profanity, violence, nudity, blasphemy, you name it—and VidAngel automatically filters it out while you watch.

To use VidAngel, you’ll need:

• Active subscriptions to supported streaming services (like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or Peacock).
• To link those services to your VidAngel account.
• To watch through the VidAngel app or website—because that’s where the filters actually apply.

Think of it as a smart remote programmed for your values.

Streaming Services Compatible with VidAngel

VidAngel works with select titles from these platforms:

• Netflix
• Apple TV+
• Peacock
• Paramount+
• Amazon Prime Video (rent/buy and subscription titles)
• Select Amazon Add-on Channels: Paramount+, STARZ, BritBox, PBS Masterpiece, MGM+, and AMC+

A few quick notes:
– Not every show or movie on these services is filterable. Our team manually builds filters for major releases and adds new ones every week.
– Due to studio agreements, content from Disney, Lucasfilm, Warner Bros., and 20th Century Fox cannot currently be filtered.

Bonus: Every VidAngel subscription also includes a small catalog of licensed, family-friendly content—like The Wingfeather Saga, Freelancers, Homestead, Tuttle Twins, Testament, and select Dry Bar Comedy specials.

Heads-up: Ad-based streaming plans won’t work with VidAngel on Roku or while casting.

What Kinds of Filters Does VidAngel Offer?

VidAngel filters fall into three main categories:

1. Default Filters – Preferences that apply automatically to everything you watch.
2. Show-Specific Filters – Detailed controls tailored to each title.
3. Locked Filters – Parental controls requiring a passcode to change.

Examples of What You Can Filter

• Don’t want to see someone blown across the room by a sound wave in Back to the Future? Easy—skip it.
