YouTube Kids for Android TV

Editor's Review

🌟 YouTube Kids is the perfect video app designed specifically for children! 🌟 It creates a safer and more contained online space, making it super fun and easy for kids to explore their interests. Parents and caregivers can relax knowing they have tools to guide their child's viewing experience. 🛡️

The app is dedicated to providing a safer online environment for kids. They work hard to keep videos family-friendly using a mix of automated filters, human review, and parent feedback. 🛠️👩‍👧‍👦 YouTube Kids is constantly improving its safeguards to offer more features that help parents create the right experience for their families. 👍 You can even customize your family's experience by turning search on or off, and check your child’s watch history with the ‘Watch it Again’ feature. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

🎈 Customize your child’s experience with individual profiles! 🎈 Create unique profiles for each of your kids on the mobile app and use them on TV or the web. Each profile has its own viewing preferences, video recommendations, and settings. You can select an age category that fits your child: "Preschool" (4 & under), "Younger" (5-8), or "Older" (9+). Or, choose "Approved Content Only" mode for maximum control. 🔤

If you select "Approved Content Only," you can handpick the videos, channels, and collections that you’ve approved for your child to watch. 📝 In this mode, searching for videos is unavailable, ensuring they only see what you've pre-approved. 🔒 Approved videos must first be selected on your mobile or tablet device and will then be reflected on all your devices with YouTube Kids. 📱💻

🌈 Our library is filled with family-friendly videos on all sorts of topics, igniting your kids’ inner creativity and playfulness. 🎨 It includes their favorite shows, music, and learning content like how to build a model volcano or make slime! 🌋🧪 There’s something for every kid to enjoy and learn from. 📚

⚠️ Parental setup is needed to ensure the best experience possible for your kid. ⚠️ Keep in mind that your kid may also see videos with commercial content from YouTube creators that are not paid ads. Make sure to review the Privacy Notice for Google Accounts managed with Family Link to understand our privacy practices. 🤓
