First Launch - Sign In

YouTube Kids and CINEMOOD care about the content that will be shown to your children. The application has the ability to create profiles for different ages of children and upload profiles that are already in your YouTube account. 

Let's consider how to log in using your YouTube account -

First, press the Center Button and go to the next screen

Next, enter your year of birth - this is a confirmation that the parents are doing the first launch

Then you will be able to sign in or run the application without authorization

Next choose SIGN IN. To sign in to your account, you need a phone or computer with the Internet - just open the kids.youtube.com/activate page and enter the code on the screen.

YouTube Kids on the CINEMOOD will automatically sign in and load the child's profile.

Now you can open additional settings or go further by selecting a profile.

If you are not signed in to your account, the child will not be able to access previously blocked content.

Launch without authorization.

It is also possible to run the application without signing in your account

In this case, you must agree with the information for parents

Select a child's profile

And turn search on or off

That’s it.
