I’d be in the market for this, but didn’t get enough info to sign up.
My first questions were:
- do I need a YouTube account?
- do I need a premium YouTube account?
- can I use it on my tv?
- and more generally, how does it work? (Which should answer all above)
Current solution is: download YouTube videos my son is interested in to Plex, watch them on the tv (or iPad)
I also have YouTube premium, but barely use it.
- andreidbr 2mo agoSame for me. I also download videos and put them on a USB stick plugged into the TV.
- Tintly 2mo agoKidScreen is not an offline or download solution like USB or Plex; it streams public videos through the embedded YouTube player. Its narrower purpose is to make the parent’s approved list the child’s default shelf.
- Tintly 2mo agoKidScreen is a free web app: a parent creates a family, adds a child, and pastes the exact YouTube links they want on that child’s shelf. The child signs in once with separate child credentials. KidScreen does not require a YouTube or Premium account for ordinary public videos that allow embedding. A compatible TV browser may work, but KidScreen is not a native TV app and I have not tested every TV platform.
