In this guide, we are going to talk about how to Cast YouTube Kids on Firestick
YouTube Kids makes it easy for your kids to watch their favorite shows or learn about anything that interests them. It’s free, effortless to use, and full of videos that are good for the whole family. YouTube Kids is an app and website for kids in the United States that lets them watch videos. It was made by YouTube, which Google owns.
According to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the app offers a version of the service that is just for kids. This version has curated content, parental control features, and videos that aren’t appropriate for kids under the age of 13 to watch. The app was first available for Android and iOS phones on February 15, 2015. Since then, it has been made available for LG, Samsung, and Sony smart TVs, as well as Android TV. You could get it on Apple TV as of May 27, 2020.
The app can be used in 69 countries as of September 2019. On August 30, 2019, YouTube Kids became available on the web. Advocacy groups, like the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, have been critical of YouTube Kids because of its use of commercial ads and its algorithmic suggestions of videos that may not be appropriate for the app’s target audience.
This is because the app has been linked to a controversy over disturbing and violent videos that show characters from children’s media franchises. Due to complaints about the videos, YouTube said it would take stricter steps to review and filter such videos when the community reports them and keep them from being available in the YouTube Kids app.
Both the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) and the Center for Digital Democracy (CDD) were worried about the ads in the YouTube Kids app. They said that kids wouldn’t be able to tell the ads from the content. Later, short bumpers were added to the app to make it clear that the ads were different from the range.
