A great online experience for kids ✅
YouTube Kids was designed to be a simpler place for kids to explore their interests through online video. The YouTube Kids app has a suite of parental controls for you to customise your kid’s individual experience. You can decide what content to make available for them to watch, set a timer to control screen time, block videos or channels, and more. Only adults can set up a profile for their children.
Check out a quick how to guide below:
-
When you go to sign up, you’ll be asked if you’re a child or a parent.
-
Children are given this message, so they need to get a parent to set up YouTube Kids
-
Parents are asked to give their birth year before proceeding:
-
Once you’re set up, you’ll be asked to choose an age bracket, so that when your child is using the app, they’ll only be exposed to content suitable for them.
-
From there, you can view everything your kid is watching on their profile, as well as what channels they’re subscribed to.
Whether you’re downloading the app or watching on the web, it’s super easy to navigate, and it’s a great place for your child to learn visually, stay entertained and keep healthy during their time at home!
