Chromecast with Google TV (4k) added to Family Link

nogstai — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 01:32:39 GMT

I have a CCGTV with my kid's profile added. I read on Google how to add the device. But there is no "Profile lock" option when I go the the Chromecast's settings.

I can't add the CCGTV to my Family Link, so I can lock any time when needed and set time limits.

There is an option for the daily limits in the Chromecast itself, but would like to have the controls also on my phone.

You can't turn this feature on in the Home app. You enable it in the settings directly on the Chromecast. Here's how:

From the Google TV home screen, select the settings cog and then Accounts & Sign In.
Select your kid’s profile and then Profile lock.
You'll be asked to verify your identity by entering your Google Account PIN or password.

Once enabled, you'll need to enter your Google Account PIN or password to exit the kids profile.
