Set ratings for a profile

You can create a Kids profile that limits what content is available to your child and what content they can watch.

When you edit a Kids profile, you can choose from the following rating groups:

  • Little Kids (ALL): Content is designed for the youngest viewers.
  • Big Kids (7+): Content may include mild fantasy or comedic violence. Contains little or no strong language or sexual content.
  • Pre-teens (7+, 10+): Content may contain mild language, suggestive dialogue, sexual situations, and/or moderate violence.
  • Teens (13+, 16+): Content may contain coarse language, suggestive dialogue, sexual situations, and/or intense violence.

By default, a new Kids profile is set to Pre-teens. When you set ratings for a profile, that profile can only find and watch episodes and movies at or below the ratings you selected.

Ratings can also be set for an Adult profile. By default, a new Adult profile can watch all content ratings.

To change ratings for a profile, you need to Edit the profile.
