A supervised kid account on YouTube is a parent-managed version of regular YouTube and YouTube Music for children under 13 (or relevant age in their country/region).
With a supervised account, parents select a content setting that limits the videos and music children under 13 can find and play. Supervised accounts also change the features they can use, the default account settings, and the ads they see. Learn more about creating a supervised account.

- YouTube app and website

- YouTube app on eligible smart TVs
- YouTube and YouTube Music through Google Assistant-enabled devices
