YouTube releases App for Kids

Sharing an important press release from our friends at Netsmartz.org



YouTube Releases Kids Apphttp://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2015/02/youtube-kids.html
If you've ever been on YouTube, you understand how quickly it can suck you in. You may start out looking at a video about the latest awards show and then find yourself watching your 6th cat video.
Everything on YouTube, however, isn't appropriate for all audiences.
So YouTube has launched a new app just for the little ones: YouTube Kids. This app only features family-friendly content and all videos are divided into four categories: shows, music, learning, and exploring.

FEATURES
The creators of YouTube Kids thought about more than just offering age-appropriate videos.
http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2015/02/youtube-kids.htmlThe app allows parents to:
  • Turn off the search function limiting kids to pre-selected videos
  • Turn off background music and sound effects to cut down on noise
  • Limit screen time with a timer that tells children when their session is over
