Troubleshooting common issues: How to lock YouTube on TV

Sometimes, locking YouTube on your smart and Android TV may not work as expected. One frequent issue is forgetting the PIN used to set parental controls. If this occurs, consult your TV’s manual for steps to reset the PIN, which might involve performing a factory reset. Be cautious with this option as it can erase personalised settings, so back up important data before proceeding.

Another issue is that restrictions may not apply uniformly across all profiles on the TV. Double check that the parental controls are activated for each user account on your smart TV. If restrictions fail to save or apply properly, it might be due to outdated firmware. Go to the system settings and check for any available software updates that can resolve the issue.

If YouTube remains accessible despite restrictions, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app to refresh the settings. Ensuring that your TV’s firmware is up to date can also prevent issues with parental control features. If problems persist, reaching out to the TV manufacturer's support team can provide additional solutions.
