Disable YouTube music completely

PencilEd — Sun, 24 Oct 2021 17:27:44 GMT

How can I disable YouTube music completely.

I have restricted mode on, but I'm still getting songs with foul language or themes I don't want to listen to and definitely don't want my children listening to.

If I can't disable it, how can I manage and control what is played? Seems like I have no control - it plays whatever is popular (I guess) ... or whatever YouTube wants me to hear (which is very rarely what I want to hear).

Also, I know how to request music from a specific source, but my kids just ask for music or specific songs and almost always end up getting it from YouTube music.

I don't want to learn other ways of doing things. I want to completely disable YouTube Music so it never plays again.

Hi PencilEd,

Thanks for reaching out. I definitely understand your concern, keeping our children safe is important. I would be more than happy to help offer some solutions.

You could link a dedicated YouTube account that has restrictions as the default music service so that it would block vulgar content.
Or, you could set Spotify or another music service as the default music service so that all commands would open that app first.
Here is some information regarding YouTube parental controls you could implement.
You could also set up downtime, this blocks majority of Google Assistant commands.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns, thank you.

Not quite the solution I was hoping for, but better than nothing.

Thank you.
