YouTube is a very popular app among all age groups and often parents allow their children to watch it. However adults often watch content on YouTube that they do not want their children to see. Sometimes children access the YouTube app without their parents' permission. That's why YouTube is bringing the Parent Code feature. Parents will have control over how long children watch YouTube and what they watch.
YouTube has said in its blog post that we are launching a new Parent Code feature that will prevent children from watching YouTube or accessing accounts created for older members of your household by signing them out. Let us tell you that YouTube has launched this feature for TV.
How to set a password on YouTube
Follow the steps given below to set a password on YouTube…
1. Open the YouTube app on your smart TV.
2. From the homepage, select Settings on the left.
3. Select the Parent Code tab.
4. Follow the prompt to set up or reset your 4-digit code.
YouTube said that we hope that with this change, children will not be able to use accounts and features on your smart TV that are not for them, and your profile will also have more relevant content according to your interests. That is, when you are watching YouTube with family, you will not see its history and suggestions of similar content in your account.
This feature is currently being rolled out gradually for all YouTube users. So it is possible that you are not seeing it right now. But it will be available soon.
