Chrome cast with Google TV parental controls

[Thrasher8712]

Hi, I have a question / request if not already implemented.

I am debating on switching my tvs to the chrome cast with google tv because I like the platform over my fire sticks/Rokus. I already have 1 and I’m messing around with the settings and added a kids profile but I don’t see an option to remote lock the chrome cast from my family link app on my phone. Is this not implemented yet? My son has an android phone and I love being able to lock/unlock it at ease from my phone through the family link app anywhere.

I know I can set bedtimes / screen time limits and that’s cool but I would love the ability to lock it remotely. If I am calling my son to come down for dinner and he can’t hear / zoned out in his show I could use my phone to remotely lock it so it shuts his show off so he can hear me or he’ll come down anyways since his show is off.

Thanks in advance!

That's currently not an available feature/setting. Once signed into a kids profile, a parent's PIN code must be entered to exit the kids profile.
