Setting Up Parental Controls for Family Streaming

Parental controls give a household a way to manage what's appropriate on shared devices without watching over every session.

Parental controls are typically managed at the profile or account level within a streaming app's settings, letting a parent set boundaries once rather than supervising every session.

Where to look

Check the account or settings menu within the app on each device — options can vary slightly by device type. Our FAQ page covers common account questions, and contact support if you can't locate a specific setting.

A few habits worth pairing with the settings

  • Set up a separate profile for children, as described in our guide on creating profiles for a shared account
  • Review settings periodically as children get older
  • Keep account passwords private from shared or public devices

Account security matters here too

Parental controls only work if the main account itself is secure — see our guide on securing your streaming account password.
