كيفية تصفية محتوى YouTube حسب الفئة للأطفال (العلوم: نعم، الألعاب: لا)

Here's how to filter YouTube by category for kids, and why YouTube has no category setting for parents. Stick around for a better, more secure way to set it up.

Filtering by category means you pick the kinds of videos your child can watch, like Science and Tech or Animals and Nature, instead of approving every channel.

Parents do it to say yes to whole topics, without hunting down every good channel first.

With YouTube's own tools, you need your parent Google account, a supervised account or YouTube Kids, and a content level by age.

In Family Link, open your child's profile, then Controls, Content restrictions and YouTube, and pick a content level.

Here's the catch. YouTube's content levels sort videos by age, not by topic. You can't say yes to science and no to gaming, and the levels follow the signed-in account.

In WhitelistVideo, turn on Auto-pilot and tick the categories you allow, such as Educational or Science and Tech.

Auto-pilot checks videos from channels you haven't approved against your categories, using the title, description and transcript. A gaming video gets blocked, and your approved channels always play.

WhitelistVideo, a SourceForge Top Performer in parental control software, is one of the best parental control apps for YouTube.
