Hi loffelarsson,

Thanks for posting in the community!

I understand you're trying to block YouTube in your Google Nest Hub and Google Nest Speakers. Don't worry; I'm here to help!

If you are located in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, or Japan, you can set up filters using Digital Wellbeing.

These filters will help you block the content you don't want your children to watch. For reference, I share with you an article that explains how filters work, how to set up filters, and more information about how to restrict content on your Google Nest speakers and displays.

In the meantime, if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reply to this post. I'll be happy to assist you further!

Best regards,

Nery.
