Set content level for YouTube Kids with the Family Link app

When your kid uses YouTube Kids with their Google Account, you can change their content level setting in the Family Link app on your device.

Content level settings in YouTube Kids

Preschool Setting

The Preschool content setting (ages 4 and under) allows kids to watch videos that promote creativity, learning, and exploration. Search results in Preschool are limited to content recommended for kids 4 and under. Our systems work hard to exclude content not suitable for kids in preschool, but not all videos have been manually reviewed. If you find something inappropriate that we missed, you can block it or report it for fast review. Learn more.

Younger Setting

The Younger content setting (ages 5—8) allows kids to search and explore songs, cartoons, crafts, and more. Our systems work hard to exclude content not suitable for young kids, but we can’t manually review all videos. You may find something inappropriate that we missed. With this setting, search results will be limited to content for kids 8 and under. If you wish to turn Search off, you can do this following the instructions in parental settings. Learn more.

Older Setting

The Older content setting (ages 9—12) allows kids to search and explore more music videos, gaming, science, and more. Our systems try to exclude adult content, but we can’t manually review all videos. You may find something inappropriate that we missed. With this setting, search results are limited to content recommended for kids 12 and under. If you wish to turn off the Search feature, you can do this following sign up in parental settings. Learn more.

You can change these settings at any time. If your kid is using YouTube Kids with their Google Account, you can change their YouTube Kids settings:

  • In the Family Link app on your device, or
  • In your linked parent account’s YouTube settings
