2. On the policy tree, expand Data Protection (DLP) and select the Web DLP rule set.
   
   The selected rule set appears in the configuration area on the right.

3. Make sure the File Types to Exclude from Web DLP Evaluation rule is enabled. Use the toggle checkbox at the beginning of the line with this rule to enable it.
   
   

4. Enter media types in the bypass list.

   • Click the three dots at the end of the line with the rule to display the menu with options for list handling.
     
     

   • Select Edit List.
     
     The list of media types that is currently in use appears in a panel on the right.

     For example, expand Video, then select video/vnd.mpegurl and video/x-ms.wmx.
     
     The selected media types are shown on the right.
