## What is PlaySafe Video?

PlaySafe: Safe YouTube Viewing for Kids, Tweens, and Teens

It's very difficult to keep inappropriate, harmful content out of YouTube feeds. If you're worried about what your kids view on YouTube, but still want them to access the valuable entertainment and education YouTube offers, PlaySafe is the answer. 

With PlaySafe, caregivers easily and quickly select trusted creators or pick from curated interest lists for their kids' profiles. Once on a kids' device, only the selected content is available for viewing. No autoplay, no recommended videos from unknown sources. Just what you've previously approved.

Ensure that every video is age-appropriate and aligned with your family’s values. With a kid-friendly interface and robust parental controls, PlaySafe creates a safe and enjoyable viewing environment for children of all ages.

Features:

Custom Profiles for Each Child (Subscription Required for Unlimited Profiles)

Easily create profiles for each child, tailored to their age and interests. Just add a nickname — no personal data required. Each profile provides a unique, personalized experience, allowing parents to customize approved content to fit each child’s individual preferences.

Parental Control Dashboard

The intuitive dashboard lets parents manage all settings in one place. You can add or remove approved channels, browse YouTube videos, and decide what your kids can watch.

Approve Channels

Search and select YouTube channels to approve for each child. If a video doesn’t meet your standards, you can block it with a single tap, preventing it from appearing in your child’s accessible content.

Kid-Friendly Viewing Experience

Once profiles are set up, kids can navigate their personalized viewing profile within the app. The colorful, engaging grid format makes it easy for kids to find videos and channels while keeping them from straying into unapproved content.
