How to take youtube off permanently?

Jump to solution

I don't want my little brother watching YouTube anymore because there's way too much stuff on there that a toddler should not be watching. So today I removed the app and put on a kids movie, I come back to his room later and he's back on YouTube. (He'll start crying if I try to change it) I literally removed it off the Apps section so I'm extremely confused on how he got back on it. How can I remove it forever and maybe put on some parental controls or something?

@siwetbak-

He may be savvy enough to add YouTube back in from the Streaming Channels menu item.

If you log into your account at https://my.roku.com you can create or reset a PIN value. You can then choose when the PIN is to be required, such as before it will allow any channel to be added to your account and/or a subscription or purchase to be made on your account.
