How to Use The Roku Channel’s Parental Controls

While Roku streaming devices don’t offer a single, one-stop location for parental controls that govern all your streaming services and apps, you can set up PIN-protected access for playback restrictions within The Roku Channel. Also, Roku TVs can restrict over-the-air content based on ratings. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to set up parental controls on your Roku device or Roku TV.
