Parental Control at Startup

Mumsie

Is there a way to reuire a PIN or password when Chromecast starts up? I have set up a kids account which is restricted, but I don't want my kids to be able to access the main account when they turn on the TV, nor do I want to have to always turn it on then switch it to their account in person. Can you configure it to require an account selection at the start, with the adult account pin/password protected so they can start up and get to their account on their own?

Hi Mumsie,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I know this feature is important to you as a parent, however this option isn't available. We're always looking for ways to improve our products and their features. We'll take this as feedback and pass it along to the right team.

 

Best,

Jennifer
