Are you worried about the content your children view on YouTube? Are you looking to block a YouTube channel from appearing in their search results and recommendations? If so, then this blog post is for you!

YouTube channels can be a great source of entertainment and education for kids, but there’s also potential for them to be exposed to inappropriate content. That’s why it’s important to know how to block a YouTube channel.

First, go to the YouTube channel’s page that you want to block. Click on the “About” tab. This will give you information about the channel including what type of videos they post, who manages it, and other related facts. Once you have confirmed that this is indeed the channel that needs to be blocked, it’s time to take action.

To block content using YouTube Kids from the home screen: tap More (3 dots next to the video or channel), tap ‘Block this video’ and enter your custom passcode or numbers that appear on the screen.

You can also use parental control tools such as Circle with Disney or Qustodio which allow you to customize settings for each family member in order to manage what they see online. With these tools, parents can set time limits on internet usage, see which websites are visited by their child and even block certain websites altogether.

Finally, if all else fails, there is always the option of talking with your child about safe internet practices and making sure they understand why certain videos are not appropriate for them. It’s important that kids learn how to navigate the internet safely and make good choices when it comes to their online activity.

Blocking a YouTube Channel doesn’t have to be difficult or overwhelming – just follow these simple steps and take advantage of parental control tools if needed for extra protection!

Here you can control what kind of content is available for your child to view by selecting specific channels, topics, or shows. You can also block specific channels and videos by tapping ‘More’ (3 dots next to the video or channel) and then ‘Block this video’ and entering your custom passcode.
