For classrooms, preschools and daycares
No search. No suggestions. No autoplay. Only the videos your teachers choose, with school hours and a daily limit for each class.
A circle-time song becomes an advert, then a video you'd never pick, in front of the whole class.
βJust one more!β
βOK class, the last one.β
The lesson time is goneβ¦
With BattoTV, you decide. BattoTV keeps to it.
Sign in with the school email, choose βA schoolβ, and add your classes. Playlists for each class's age are ready.
Each class has BattoTV Picks for its age ready: see every video first. Or add any YouTube video, channel or playlist for a lesson.
School hours, a daily limit and short turns for each class. One teacher PIN keeps the settings safe.
On the classroom TV, smart board, tablet or computer, tap βUse on this screenβ once. Children tap a picture to watch, with no reading needed.
At break time or the end of the school day, the video finishes first, then a friendly screen shows when TV comes back. A teacher can give more time with the PIN.
From any teacher's phone
See what each class watched today, give a few more minutes for a lesson, or pause for lunch and nap time. The classroom screen follows within seconds.
No teacher has to be the one who says no.
Kids always know what's happening and when TV comes back, with a clock for kids who are learning to read one. To unlock early, a grown-up holds the top-left corner for 3 seconds and types the PIN.
Health guidance such as the WHO's suggests about 1 hour a day of screen time for children aged 2 to 5. BattoTV suggests limits for each kid's or class's age, adds short breaks, and waits for a video to end before a break.
Add videos in any language your family or class speaks. Ready-made BattoTV Picks include songs, stories and learning in several languages: choose each kid's or class's languages, and we switch on the Picks that fit their age.
YouTube Kids can be set to only the videos you approve. BattoTV adds what it leaves out: allowed hours, breaks, and extra time or pause from your phone.

BattoTV controls what plays inside BattoTV. To stop children leaving the app for other apps, turn on App pinning (Android) or Guided Access (iPad); the app shows you how.

I'm a parent of three. We let our kids watch cartoons on YouTube, and one cartoon quietly became three hours. After every video YouTube chose the next one, and even a cartoon we picked could lead somewhere we'd never choose.
I wanted something simple: I choose the videos, my children watch those videos, for as long as we agreed. With no daily fights, even when I'm at work and the grandparents are at home with them.
