YouTube Kids has a great source of videos for the little ones. They can watch cartoons, listen to the kids’ music, or learn new things. If the kids are watching the videos on a smartphone or on a tablet, they may accidentally press the cast button. If you own a smart TV, for example, the videos will start playing on a TV. To avoid this, you can turn off the option that allows casting. In this article, we are going to share the steps for that. Without further ado, let’s see how to disable casting to big screens on the YouTube Kids app.
