Finally! Someone who actually covers parental controls on this stuff!

[suzecurtis]

Hello ~ Thank You for sharing the parental control information. Is there a way to set the "volume" (behind the scenes) so the person with the remote cannot raise the volume past 75% ? We have an elderly parent who sits in front of the TV all day - with the volume at 100% - and gets angry if we lower the volume. Yet - in normal daily conversation, she can hear just fine. As long as she sees 100 on the screen, she is fine. Do you have any thoughts?

HELP!!!! Do you have any suggestions how to restrict a kid from using youtube guest mode on a Samsung smart TV? Other than using a PIN for opening the app It is so frustrating. I am seriously considering to look for an APK older and dumber version of YOUTUBE and installing it.

Thanks. What about gaming console? I work with college students in porn recovery. Many have relapse through game consoles.

What if your children guess the PIN code and ask for it?
