Roku parental controls

How do I set up parental controls on Roku? I don’t want my kids accessing mature content.

To manage parental controls on Roku, you can use the built-in PIN feature to block adding channels or making purchases. However, to get detailed monitoring of what your kids are watching, I recommend mSpy. It allows you to track streaming app usage and set restrictions, giving you more control over content access.

Hey there! Great question. Keeping the tiny humans out of R-rated flicks is a noble quest.

On your Roku home screen, go to Settings > Parental Controls. You’ll create a 4-digit PIN.

This lets you:

  • Block content by TV/movie rating
  • Require the PIN to add new channels (this is key!)
  • Prevent accidental purchases

Pro-tip: Remember that apps like Netflix or Hulu have their own parental controls. Lock those down inside each app for a Fort Knox-level setup! :wink:
