Video censoring for teachers

Review classroom clips with care.

Upload a clip. Review the transcript. Choose each bleep or mute before export.

Processing time varies with the file, browser, device, and selected mode.

  1. Upload a classroom video clip.
  2. Review the timed transcript and choose the exact words or moments to bleep or mute.
  3. Preview the edits and download the classroom-ready video copy.

Choose the right mode

Student data? Choose where it is processed.

Browser mode can process supported short clips locally on a capable desktop or Chromebook with WebAssembly, Web Workers, compatible codecs, and enough memory. Studio uploads media to the cloud. Use it for student content only if your school permits that upload.

Browser mode

  • Capable desktop or Chromebook with a supported browser and codecs
  • Local processing with no media upload
  • Best choice when a file contains student data

Studio

  • Longer classroom videos and saved projects
  • Cloud transcription and phone-friendly uploads
  • Use only for media your school permits you to upload

The details, plainly answered

Questions before class?

Chromebooks, FERPA-friendly practices, long videos, grade-level word lists, and plan eligibility.

How should schools evaluate student-data and FERPA requirements?

Browser-local processing can support FERPA-friendly practices because the media file is not uploaded for processing. Bleep does not certify FERPA compliance; schools must apply their own privacy, consent, record-status, retention, security, and vendor-review requirements. Studio uploads need separate institutional review.

Does this work on school Chromebooks?

Browser mode can work on capable Chromebooks with WebAssembly and Web Worker support. School policy, browser management, available memory, codecs, and network controls can affect access, so check with your administrator when required.

What about longer videos like full documentaries?

Browser mode is intended for supported short files up to about 10 minutes on capable desktops. Studio uploads the selected file, saves a project, and supports recordings up to 2 hours. A school should complete its own privacy, security, consent, retention, and vendor review before using either mode with student content.

How long does it take to censor a video?

Processing time varies with file length, device performance, browser support, model choice, and whether browser mode or Studio is used. Allow time to review the transcript and preview the export.

Can I create word lists for different grade levels?

Yes! You can create and save custom word lists that persist in your browser. Create separate lists for elementary, middle school, and high school content, then apply them with one click.

Does my school district need a special license?

Individual teachers can use the free browser-based tool without a license. Studio currently offers Free, Starter, and Pro accounts; schools should choose among those published plans and complete their own privacy, security, consent, and vendor review.
