HOW TO: Set-up a supervised kid account for your child on a shared device

We’re making it easier for parents to make sure their child has the most age-appropriate account on YouTube when sharing devices. In this video, we’ll explain how to set up a supervised kid account, choose content settings, and how to switch between parent and supervised kid accounts. When your child is watching using their supervised kid account, they’ll see YouTube based on the content setting you selected. On a shared device, your child’s viewing stays in their account– so your content settings, personal recommendations, and watch history remain separate, allowing you both to enjoy the YouTube experience that’s right for you. 00:00 | Introduction 00:14 | How to create a supervised kid account for your child 00:55 | Built-in protections for your child on YouTube 01:32 | How to switch between YouTube accounts on your device 02:04 | Closing Tips and resources for parents of teens on YouTube: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2802272 What is a supervised kid account on YouTube? https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10314940 Parental controls on YouTube: https://support.google.com/youtubekids/answer/6172308 Choosing content settings for supervised experiences: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10315823 Understanding your choices as a family on YouTube: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10315420
