If you do not want your kids to watch a specific video or an entire YouTube channel, you can check out this tutorial. Here is how to block a Video or a Channel on YouTube Kids. You can access this feature to create a better environment for your little kid even if you are using YouTube Premium.
YouTube is a place where anybody can upload videos from across the globe. That works as an advantage and disadvantage since many people misuse this platform very often. To deal with that problem, YouTube rolled out YouTube Kids, which allows parents to create a better and safer YouTube page for their kids. If you use this website, your kids can watch under-12 videos only.
Although YouTube uses strict regulations to filter all content on YouTube Kids website, you, as a parent, might not want to let your kids watch a specific video due to any reason. As different people have different thoughts on online videos, if you wish to prevent your kids from opening a particular video or YouTube channel, you can do that. As mentioned earlier, no paid subscription is required to get it done, but having a subscription could ditch all advertisements.
