How to see what your child watches on YouTube
Knowing what your child watches is the first step to deciding what stays. In COONI every video your child plays is counted against your parent account, so you can look back without asking your child for the device history.
You see the recent videos in the Library and the viewing time in Parent Mode, and you can block or hide anything you do not like straight away.
Step by step
Open the Library in Child Mode
Tap Library. "Continue watching" lists the videos watched recently on your account, newest first, as long as they still pass your rules.
Check the viewing time
Tap Parent, enter your PIN and look at "Watched today" on the Parent Mode home screen. With COONI Plus you also see the last 7 days.
Block what you do not like
Found something you would rather skip? Block the channel in Parent Mode → Channels, or hide the single video with "Manage videos". It leaves the Library and Child Mode straight away.
Questions
Does it show videos watched in the YouTube app?
No. COONI only knows what is watched inside COONI. Videos watched in the YouTube app or on youtube.com are not included.
Can I clear the history?
Yes. Parent Mode → Settings → Clear watch history removes it at any time.
Does it work across devices?
Yes. Every device signed in to the same COONI account adds to the same Library and viewing time.
