How does a child discover videos in YouTube Kids?

admin 20:33

Videos in YouTube Kids can be discovered in several ways: 


Turn Search On: Turning Search on allows your child to find and watch millions of videos available in YouTube Kids. These videos are available in the app after being selected by an algorithm trained to return relevant and appropriate results. Videos available through search are not subject to human review. 



Turn Search Off: You can turn Search off if you prefer to restrict your child’s experience to a more limited set of videos. With search off, your child can’t search for new content but they can watch videos on the homescreen, which includes videos selected by the app, and those the app recommends based on what they’ve watched or searched.














Videos Selected by the App on the Homescreen. Videos selected by the app on the homescreen are grouped in four categories (“Shows,” “Music,” “Learning” and “Explore”). These videos are selected by the app using a mix of automated systems and some human review, and may be ranked by our systems based on what your child has watched or searched. These videos represent only a subset of the millions of videos available in YouTube Kids.

    Recommended Videos. All recommended videos are selected by our algorithm without human review. Recommended videos, which show both when Search is on or off, will be generally presented as an additional category on the homescreen after multiple videos have been watched in YouTube Kids. Recommended videos may also appear in the four categories of videos on the homescreen and as suggestions for your child to watch, after they’ve watched videos on the homescreen or they’ve searched for a video. Recommended videos are based on what has been watched or searched in the app and always draw from the complete set of videos that are available in YouTube Kids.

      Resetting Recommended Videos. You can always reset recommended videos by clearing the app’s watch history in parental settings. When your turn Search off, the app automatically resets recommended videos by clearing the watch and search history in your app; with Search off, recommended videos will be based only on the videos watched since Search was turned off, but will continue to select videos from the broad set of videos accessible from YouTube Kids.
