YouTube Kids: Safe Video App for Children

A video app and website designed for kids, offering a controlled viewing experience with curated and approved age-appropriate content from YouTube.

What is YouTube Kids?

YouTube Kids is a video streaming app and website created by YouTube as a safer way for kids to explore their interests. It provides a more contained environment for children to explore as compared to the main YouTube platform.

The main difference between YouTube Kids and regular YouTube is that all videos shown on Kids have been manually reviewed by human editors to ensure they are family-friendly. The editors look for appropriate content as well as things like positive messaging, educational value, engagement and more.

YouTube Kids includes popular children's programming plus kid-friendly content from popular YouTube creators. Children can explore videos through collections and topics like music, arts & crafts, learning and more. Parents can also create individual profiles for each child to provide customized recommendations.

The app has parental control features that let parents set usage limits, block inappropriate content, and turn on a timer. It also does not show ads in the main viewing part of the app. Overall, YouTube Kids aims to balance kid appeal and parents' need to keep their children safe online.
