How to set up parental controls on Amazon Prime Video
What's the story
Amazon Prime Video is a treasure trove of entertainment, but not all content is kid-friendly. That's why parental controls are crucial.
Parental controls let you lock away the grown-up stuff, so your kids only see age-appropriate content.
Learn how to unlock and set up parental controls on Amazon Prime Video with our easy-to-follow guide. Keep your kids' viewing experience safe and fun!
Account setup
Accessing account settings
First, sign in to your Amazon account and head over to the Account and Settings section.
Here, you'll see a bunch of options for managing your account.
Find the Parental Controls tab. That's the spot! Now, you can begin setting things up the way you want.
Content restriction
Setting up viewing restrictions
Inside the "Parental Controls" tab, you can set viewing restrictions based on age categories like seven plus or 13 plus.
Choose the category that matches what you think is appropriate for your child.
This means anything above the selected rating will need a PIN to be accessed.
Pin management
Creating and managing Pins
Setting up a strong PIN is important as it will be the key to accessing any restricted content.
In the *Parental Controls* section, you can either set up a new PIN or change your existing one.
Select a four-digit number that you can easily remember, but not easily guessable by others.
You will need to enter this PIN whenever you want to access any restricted content on Amazon Prime Video.
Activity check
Monitoring viewing activity
Regularly monitoring viewing activity is crucial to verify that parental controls are working as intended, and that no one has bypassed them.
You can easily check what has been viewed by accessing the *Watch History* under account settings.
If you notice anything inappropriate or suspect unauthorized access, promptly change your PIN and make necessary adjustments to restrictions.
Flexible control
Adjusting settings as needed
As your children grow and mature, their viewing interests and appropriateness will naturally change.
It's important to periodically review and update the parental control settings on Amazon Prime Video to reflect their growing maturity and evolving interests.
This allows you to uphold the safety standards you initially established while adapting to their developing tastes.
Regular adjustments to these settings will ensure a balanced and secure viewing experience for your growing children.
