WayTube gives kids a simpler way to explore videos they love, while parents stay in control of what appears. Kids can choose a favorite character, pick a mood, explore learning videos, or search for something they love. Before a video appears, WayTube evaluates it individually and gives it an Age Fit Score based on your child's age. ONE SCORE. YOUR RULES. Set your child's age, languages, and minimum Age Fit Score. WayTube uses those settings to decide which videos can appear. No complicated filters to configure. One simple score helps you shape an experience that fits your family. CHOOSE WHAT THEY LOVE Children can start with familiar characters or simply choose what they're in the mood for. Parents decide which characters are available, which appear first, and which should be blocked. Block a character and it disappears from the character picker, video feeds, and search. PARENTAL CONTROLS • Set your child's age and minimum Age Fit Score • Choose allowed languages • Control Search and Shorts • Choose which characters can appear • Set daily viewing and feed limits • Review viewing activity • See videos that were filtered out • Understand why a video received its Age Fit Score A FINITE VIDEO EXPERIENCE WayTube isn't designed around endless scrolling. Parents set limits, and children explore within them. Video limits apply separately to characters and moods, so reaching the end of one list doesn't mean the experience has to end. Your child can choose something different instead of being pulled into an endless feed. EVERY VIDEO IS EVALUATED INDIVIDUALLY WayTube doesn't assume every video from a channel is equally appropriate for every child. Videos are evaluated individually using their content and context before receiving an Age Fit Score. BETTER WATCH NEXT Related videos can come from different creators while still following your WayTube settings. Watch Next also works when Search is turned off, giving children a way to continue watching without opening unrestricted search. BUILT FOR PARENTS TO STAY IN CONTROL Age Fit Scores are guidance, not a guarantee. Parents can review activity, understand why videos received their scores, block content, and adjust the experience at any time.
