For years many parents wished YouTube kids was supported on TVs and Roku players. Now YouTube has announced any device with a YouTube app now offers YouTube Kids.
YouTube Kids is a safer version of YouTube. It gives parents age approertet content for their kids and the ability to control what their kids see on YouTube.
In the past, most TVs did not offer YouTube Kids, meaning if you wanted to watch videos on your TV, it was the wild west of YouTube, and you never knew what would come up. Now parents can put the YouTube app on their TV in kidsā mode.
āWhen on the Accounts tab, you can easily toggle between your profile and your childās profile, which will take you directly into the YouTubeĀ Kids app ā with your existing parental controls, content settings, and childās preferences ready to go. This means a seamless transition from your YouTube profile to your childās YouTubeĀ Kids profile and less navigation withĀ aĀ remote.ā YouTube said in a statement sent to parents today.
This is excellent news for parents who want to watch with their kids on TV but want to do it with the YouTube Kids app.
Here is the email YouTube sent out.
We are excited to share a new way for your family to enjoy the videos they love on the big screen. When using the YouTube app on a smartĀ TV, streaming device, or gaming console, you will now be able to enter the safer, designed-for-kids YouTubeĀ Kids app through your childās YouTubeĀ Kids profile. This change will be rolling out to families over the nextĀ fewĀ weeks.

For simplicity, we will now show your existing YouTubeĀ Kids profiles on your Accounts page within the YouTube app on smart TVs, streaming devices, and gaming consoles. If YouTubeĀ Kids is no longer the viewing experience you want for your child, you can easily delete those profiles by visitingĀ families.youtube.com, selecting your childās profile, and clicking on the three-dot menu. Note that deleting the profiles will delete them on allĀ devices.
If your child is ready to move on from YouTubeĀ Kids, you can learn more about ourĀ supervisedĀ experienceĀ for tweens onĀ YouTube.ā
