Google chromecast restricted mode enable can’t turn off! HELP

Ciscoroth — Sun, 14 Jan 2024 02:48:01 GMT

Hello I’m Cisco, from Melbourne, AU.

I am trying to cast some YouTube videos on TV using Chromecast but it is showing restricted mode needs to be disabled on Chromecast.

I pay for YouTube Premium and the answers on the internet do not match the current layout of the actual Goggle Home App

Could someone HEEEELP me with this?

Hi Ciscoroth,

Thanks for posting. You can turn on and off restricted mode by following the steps below:

Open the Google Home app .
Tap Favorites or Devices .
Tap and hold your device's tile.
Tap Settings Notifications and Digital Wellbeing YouTube settings.
Under 'Use Restricted mode', turn on Restrict for me or Restrict when someone isn’t recognised.

You can check out this helpful link as well to learn more about it.

Control restricted content

Regards,

Juni

When you are connected to the tv and the message comes up restricted mode on. . Go to your YouTube app Nd press the cast button again. Near the top you will see an icon like a directional pad for a remote. Select that so you can use your phone as a remote to navigate to the settings through your tv chromecast. You can turn off restricted mode through that.
