Use the Roku PIN to limit purchases and channel additions
- When the PIN is enabled, you will need to enter it when making any purchases through Roku or adding new channels from the Roku Channel Store
- This prevents unauthorized purchases or channel additions
- On your Roku device, go to Settings > Home screen
- Select the items you want to hide, like “Movie Store”, “TV Store”, or “News Feed”
- These items will no longer show up on the home screen
Set restrictions in individual streaming channel accounts
- Services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video have their own parental controls
- You need to set up restrictions like PINs and content filtering in each account separately
- The restrictions will still apply when accessing the services through Roku
Use third-party parental control apps
- Apps like Bark can provide additional parental supervision for Roku devices
- They allow filtering across multiple services and full activity reporting
So in summary, using the Roku PIN along with restrictions in streaming channel accounts and third-party apps provides the most effective way to restrict purchases and access on Roku devices. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions!
