YouTube Kids for Android TV

YouTube Kids for Android TV is a video streaming app designed exclusively for children, offering a safer, more controlled environment where kids can explore content independently while parents maintain oversight and guidance.

Parents appreciate YouTube Kids because it removes the guesswork from screen time. The app features multiple age-appropriate modes—'Preschool' for children four and under, 'Younger' for ages 5–8, and 'Older' for ages 9+—each curated with videos that spark creativity, playfulness, and learning. There's also an 'Approved Content Only' mode, letting you hand-pick exactly which videos, channels, and collections your child can access, with search disabled for maximum control.

Your child's experience is deeply personal. Create individual profiles for each child on the mobile app, then use those same profiles across TV and web. Every profile maintains its own viewing preferences, recommendations, and parental settings, so siblings can enjoy completely different content libraries tailored to their ages and interests.

Safety is built in. We use a combination of automated filtering, human review, and parent feedback to keep inappropriate content off the platform. While no system is perfect, we're continuously improving our safeguards. You can toggle search on or off, check your child's watch history with the 'Watch it Again' feature, and customize every aspect of your family's viewing experience.

The content library spans everything kids love: beloved shows, music, educational videos teaching science and creativity, DIY projects, and more. Whether your child wants to learn how to build a volcano, make slime, or explore their latest passion, there's something to inspire them.

Setup is straightforward—parental configuration ensures the best experience from day one. Note that videos from YouTube creators may include commercial content, though these aren't paid advertisements. Privacy is protected through Google's Family Link privacy practices when your child signs in with a Google Account, or the YouTube Kids Privacy Notice when using the app without an account.

YouTube Kids for Android TV transforms your TV into a trusted entertainment hub where children discover, learn, and grow—with parents in complete control.
