There are many different ways to restrict your child&#8217;s access to the site. Google SafeSearch and Restricted Mode are some options you may want to use. YouTube also offers a kids app. You can also turn on human content moderators to keep your child from viewing inappropriate content. Ultimately, you decide what type of controls to set and how to apply them. Here&#8217;s a step-by-step guide to set parental controls on YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restricted_Mode\"><\/span>Restricted Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can block YouTube on mobile devices by turning on Restricted Mode. This feature is available in the bottom of the list. Once enabled, you must repeat these steps for each individual device. If you have set restrictions on YouTube, you can disable mature content, disable videos, and reload the home screen. You can also lock the restricted mode on a browser to prevent children from viewing adult content. However, this setting is available only on specific browsers, so you have to configure it on each one separately.<\/p>\n<p>Using Restricted Mode is another way to limit what your child sees on YouTube. This mode blocks adult content, but isn&#8217;t 100 percent effective. First, log in to your child&#8217;s Google account. Then, click the picture of your child or a blank face. A menu will appear. Choose Restricted Mode. It will show you a list of content rated under 13.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_SafeSearch\"><\/span>Google SafeSearch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How can you set parental controls on YouTube? There are two options: SafeSearch and Restricted Mode. SafeSearch blocks inappropriate content while Restricted Mode hides comments and prevents live streaming. Restricted Mode does not block mature content, but it can root out harmful websites. You can enable Restricted Mode on your child&#8217;s YouTube account from allowing them to view content that is not appropriate for their age.<\/p>\n<p>While YouTube&#8217;s parent company, Google, encourages parents to dismiss inappropriate content from their kids&#8217; accounts. To dismiss an entire video, just click on the three dots and select &#8220;Not Interested.&#8221; You can also disable certain features, like advertising and subscriptions, for mobile users. This way, you can limit the amount of content your children see. However, you must remember to use your personal Google Account and set up Family Link so that your children&#8217;s YouTube account isn&#8217;t tied to your work or school email account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Kids_app\"><\/span>YouTube Kids app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The YouTube Kids app offers a number of features that parents should consider before allowing their kids to access the app. Although the parental controls are built into the app, you can use Circle to set the settings for YouTube and save yourself a lot of time. Besides, Circle will enable SafeSearch and Restricted Mode, which are two features that parents should consider when setting up parental controls on YouTube Kids. This will ensure that your kids only see content that is appropriate for them.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve installed the YouTube Kids app, go to the settings section of your child&#8217;s profile and tap the lock icon. Click on the Settings option. You can turn on or off parental controls by selecting &#8220;Approve content&#8221; and &#8220;disable search.&#8221; The settings are stored within your child&#8217;s profile, and you can make changes as often as you wish. Once you&#8217;re done, you can disable search entirely or allow only videos approved by humans.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_human_content_moderators\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s human content moderators<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube is a massive video-sharing site, with five billion views each day and 300 hours of video uploaded every minute. However, human content moderators can&#8217;t keep up with all the content, and sometimes, it&#8217;s difficult to spot the bad stuff in videos. In an effort to protect its users, YouTube is proactively addressing the problem by setting up parental controls. These controls, called &#8220;parental controls,&#8221; let parents set certain parameters and restrict access to certain channels or categories.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube restricts access to certain videos by displaying warnings that a video contains disturbing content. When you activate parental controls for your child&#8217;s account, the search function will not work and additional videos from the main site won&#8217;t appear. You can also disable the search function and set parental controls to alert you when content is inappropriate. YouTube has reported the videos as inappropriate, but it&#8217;s not a foolproof method. It&#8217;s important to coordinate the use of these parental controls with other strategies, such as setting limits on children&#8217;s screen time.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"196\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BIB3avfTo4I\" width=\"350\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Set Parental Controls on YouTube How do you set parental controls on YouTube?
