Parental controls need to have restrictions on use of ROKU on Tv and apps

Jump to solution

I would like Roku to restrict use of apps and/or opening Roku on the TV. This is because my kids watch Roku without restrictions and there needs to be a way to set up a pin or password to restrict kids from opening Roku on the TV.

Hi @Am639,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

We see that you're trying to set up an access PIN for an individual channel on your Roku device. However, this option is not available on the platform. Yes, you can still set up a purchase PIN or set up a Parental Controls PIN, particularly for The Roku Channel. 

For detailed information, you can visit our support page here: How to create or update the PIN for your Roku account.

Thanks again for reaching out and we'll take note of this feedback.

When we had hardwired phones we had rules and consequences for breaking them. Very effective.
