YouTube Kids

A video app made just for children

YouTube Kids was created to give children a more contained environment that makes it simpler and more fun for them to explore on their own, and easier for parents and caregivers to guide their journey as they discover new and exciting interests along the way.

A safer online experience for children

We work hard to keep the videos on YouTube Kids family-friendly and use a mix of automated filters built by our engineering teams, human review and feedback from parents to protect our youngest users online. But no system is perfect and inappropriate videos can slip through, so we're constantly working to improve our safeguards and offer more features to help parents create the right experience for their families.

Customise your child's experience with Parental Controls

Limit screen time: Set a time limit for how long your children can watch and help encourage their transition from watching to doing. Keep up with what they watch: Simply check the 'watch it again' page and you'll always know what they've watched and the newest interests that they're exploring. Blocking: Don't like a video? Block the video or whole channel and never see it again. Flagging: You can always alert us to inappropriate content by flagging a video for review. Flagged videos are reviewed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
