Set up Tubi Kids on a shared television
Choose the Tubi Kids account and test the parent PIN, content rating and playback on the device a child will use.

Set up the account from the television outward
Tubi’s help describes a main account and linked Kids accounts. It also documents age-rating controls and parental settings. On a shared television, sign in and open the account selector before changing anything. Identify which account opens automatically today, and which account the child will use. Write down the model or connected streaming player if the controls look different from the phone.
Use Tubi’s device-specific instructions to change the age rating and PIN settings available for your account. Choose a rating you are comfortable with, then test the account on the television. Opening the account on a phone is a useful comparison if a setting is hard to find. The screen the child will actually use is the one to verify before you finish.
Do a five-minute playback and exit test
| Test | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Switch into the Kids account | The correct account name and children’s catalogue |
| Play an approved episode | A normal start and the expected title |
| Search for a title you intend to restrict | Whether it is absent or blocked as expected |
| Attempt to switch to the main account | The behaviour you expect from the parental controls |
| Quit and reopen the app | Which account starts by default |
A parent can do this with a test title in mind. Avoid relying on what appears in the first row of recommendations. Search is a better way to verify the chosen boundary. If the living room and bedroom use different streaming devices, repeat the final steps on both.
When one screen behaves differently
Look at the active account and app version before changing the rating again. If you still need help, share the device model, current account type, requested rating and the step where the result differs. Keep the PIN private. An example such as “The bedroom television reopens the main account after a restart” gives support more to work with than a general report about the Kids screen.
