How BattoTV works in school

Teachers choose. The class watches. BattoTV keeps the boundary.

Everything BattoTV does for a school: what the class sees, school hours, control from any teacher's phone, and questions.

This is what the class sees.

Teachers pick the videos on their phone. The classroom screen shows big pictures of only those videos, and nothing else.

The real school dashboard: Sunshine Preschool, the UKG class watching now, minutes used and school hours.

Why not just YouTube Kids?

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 is an independent service. It plays YouTube videos in YouTube's own player, but it isn't made by, owned by or endorsed by YouTube or Google.

From any teacher's phone

Every class screen, from one 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.

  • + Give 15 minutes: a little more, straight away
  • ⏸ Pause BattoTV: lunch, nap or story time
  • 🕓 Today's allowed hours: see them, and change them in a tap

No teacher has to be the one who says no.

No sudden “Turn it off!”

The video finishes first. Then a friendly screen tells them when they can watch again, with a clock for children who are learning to read one. Fewer fights, fewer tears.

Why I built BattoTV

I built BattoTV because I had the same problem. One cartoon became three hours. YouTube kept choosing the next video, and my children ended up watching things I hadn't chosen.

I wanted something simpler: I choose. They watch. It stops when we agreed.

Questions

Is BattoTV part of YouTube?No. BattoTV is an independent service, made in Sri Lanka. It plays YouTube videos in YouTube's own player, but it isn't made by, owned by or endorsed by YouTube or Google.
Where do the videos come from?From YouTube, played in a locked player with no way out to YouTube or the web. BattoTV only plays videos that YouTube marks as made for kids, and it doesn't download or copy videos.
Will children see ads?BattoTV never adds ads of its own. But YouTube may show its own ads before or during some videos, and some creators put adverts, sponsorships or toy promotions inside the video itself. Nobody can remove those. Before adding a channel, watch a few minutes; prefer calm channels without "unboxing" or toy adverts; and use 👎 or 🚩 Report if you spot one, so the BattoTV team can review it.
Is it really free?Yes. The Free plan is free forever for 1 class. New schools also get a free trial, no card needed; after that we'll give you a price for your classes and screens, or you stay on Free.
Can any teacher use it?Yes. Teachers share one teacher PIN for the settings, and the classroom screen needs no training: it only shows the videos you chose and keeps to each class's hours and limit by itself. Any teacher can give a few more minutes or pause it from their own phone.
Do you need children's names?No. A class is just a name (like Nursery or LKG), the children's age and the languages they speak. BattoTV never asks for children's names in a school account.
Which languages?Any. You can add YouTube videos, channels and playlists in any language. Ready-made BattoTV Picks are in Sinhala, English and Tamil so far, with more coming. The kids' screen uses pictures more than words, so even young children find their way. Our WhatsApp support speaks Sinhala and English.
How does the school pay?By bank transfer, once a year, with an invoice made out to the school. The app shows our bank details and your reference; send the slip in the app or on WhatsApp. Nothing renews by itself, and we remind you before the year ends. The first year is 20% off.
Which devices work?Any phone, tablet, computer or smart TV with a modern browser, with no app store needed. On Android, open BattoTV in Chrome and choose "Install app" to use it like a normal app.
