WhitelistVideo — Safe YouTube for Kids on TV
YouTube has incredible content for kids — BBC Kids, Discovery, LEGO, educational channels, music, cartoons,
crafts, science experiments. But it also has autoplay rabbit holes, clickbait, inappropriate recommendations,
and endless distractions.
WhitelistVideo fixes that. Parents curate exactly which YouTube channels and playlists their child can watch on
the TV — no comments, no autoplay from the void, no strangers, no ads, no surprises.
How it works
1. Install WhitelistVideo on your Android TV, Google TV, or Chromecast with Google TV.
2. Sign in at app.whitelist.video on any phone or laptop.
3. Add your child, pick the channels and playlists you approve, and pair your TV with a 6-digit code.
4. Your child sees only what you approved. No account creation, no typing, no login on the TV.
What kids see on the TV
• A clean home screen with only approved channels and playlists.
• Simple D-pad navigation — designed for the remote.
• No comments, no recommendations from outside your whitelist, no "up next" surprises.
• No ads inside the app.
• PIN-protected settings so kids can't change the whitelist or unpair the TV.
What parents manage from the web app
• Add or remove YouTube channels and playlists anytime — changes reach the TV in seconds.
• Multiple children, each with their own whitelist.
• Safe-mode levels per child.
• Activity view — see what your kids actually watched.
• Pause or lock a TV from your phone.
