And Vizio isnt an exception.
Although there is much helpful content on YouTube, you may also find inappropriate videos.
Thats why some parents want to block it, so their kids dont accidentally or intentionally watch sensitive content.

Unfortunately, its not that simple in the case of Vizio Smart TV.
Nevertheless, you might still fire up the so-called Restricted Mode in the YouTube app.
So lets take a closer look at how it works on Vizio Smart TV.
Why cant you block YouTube on Vizio Smart TV?
Vizio Smart TV has a parental control option, but its capabilities are primitive.
For SmartCast streaming apps, there is no option to set a password.
Thats why you cant block YouTube on your Vizio Smart TV.
Furthermore, one of the significant drawbacks of Vizio Smart TVs is that you cant uninstall an app.
The company writes about this explicitly on itsofficial website.
In other words, you cant even delete YouTube.
Can you install YouTube Kids on Vizio Smart TV?
Unfortunately, you wont find YouTube Kids in the Vizio Smart TV app store.
The app also offers basic parental controls, allowing parents to customize the YouTube experience for their kids.
Ensure that the mobile gear and the TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi online grid.
