Lockdown for YouTube

YouTube viewing, with boundaries that fit your family.

Lockdown for YouTube gives parents a clear, parent-led way to manage YouTube viewing on a child’s device.

Create a family account, approve the channels your child can watch, set daily viewing limits, and pair their device with a simple one-time code. Children get a focused viewing experience, while parents stay in control.
