How to Set Up User Profiles and Parental Controls on Google TV

[@bigpun4780]

Google needs to add a 'default' profile option so that when the tv is turned on it defaults to the kids profile. Right now when i turn off the tv at night it is still on my profile when the kids turn on the tv on the morning. It is a pain to remember to switch to kids profile when half-asleep

Google TV is garbage for parental controls

[@akongas]

Yes yes yes! I can’t believe Google would be so stupid to overlook this or not even care about the loophole! I’ve been considering dumping chromecast for something else for this very reason!

Yeah this is really weird.. tried to find any option for this.. when my son starts the tv i want hes user to activate. Ruins the purpose of child usage if it always starts with adult user .. useless

[@MrJeden]

So what launcher is best to use for parental control?

Thanks a lot for this introduction!🙏 This makes it possible to think about putting a TV in child's room !

[@nehemiahogato4448]

Simple , clear and precise explanation !

[@JohnGallenIRL]

Can you make the kids profile the default profile? That is, when the TV/Chromecast is turned on, the profile that comes on by default is my child's. Is that possible? And thank you for your video tutorial.

Any idea how to get the parental controls to actually monitor time watched for youtube kids? I have 2 nearly identical youtube kids apps, i think one is marked as the qndroid tv version. it doesn't matter how i mark them or if i uninstall either one, the time watched is never restricted.

Solution to the problem most people are having (the lack of an auto log off). Before turning off the tv, switch to the kids profile.

[@Zhaadum]

That is more a work-around than a solution. They really need to make an auto-log off. It should take a programmer there maybe a day to program.

How to customise shows from different apps?

[@aBatGuy]

But my kids can select my account when switch on the TV. It is the poorest system on TV.

[@akongas]

Google need a kick up the butt! They need to have chromecast boot into the kids profile on startup! It baffles me how they hadn’t implemented this already! Perhaps Google staff don’t have kids 🤷
