Setup and Management of Rogers Xfinity Stream app Parental Controls
Overview
Learn how to set up and manage parental controls in the Rogers Xfinity Stream app. Use the Rogers Xfinity Stream app to enable Safe Browse and set restrictions based on ratings and channel locks.
Parental Controls setup
The Rogers Xfinity Stream app includes the ability to set parental controls which allow you to limit the types of content available for streaming and download through the app. If you have the app installed on multiple devices, please be aware that parental controls must be set up individually on each device as they are not account based, and are separate from the parental controls you can set up through a satellite set-top box.
To set up parental controls in the Rogers Xfinity Stream app, you will first need to create a PIN. To set up a PIN for the first time, you will need to:
- Open the Rogers Xfinity Stream app on your mobile device
- Navigate to Settings
- Select Parental Controls
- Move the parental controls toggle to the "On" position
- Enter a 4-digit PIN
This PIN will be required to access parental control options in the future, so please ensure that you remember it for future reference. Once a PIN has been set you can set your parental control preferences which include enabling safe browse, setting movie and TV ratings and locking networks and titles.
