Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about InLign and how it works.

YouTube → InLign Parent Portal
No. If you subscribe/unsubscribe or create/remove playlists on YouTube, use the refresh button in the parent portal to update InLign.

InLign Parent Portal → Child app
Yes. Changes made in the parent portal (for example adding or removing channels or playlists) are applied automatically to the child/user app.

YouTube → InLign Parent Portal:

  • Channels: Yes. New videos from already-imported channels are synced automatically.
  • Playlists: No. New videos you add to existing playlists require a manual refresh from the playlists library on the parent portal dashboard.

InLign Parent Portal → Child app: Updates appear automatically within 15 minutes if push notifications are enabled. If push notifications are off, changes appear when users manually refresh from the app or when the app restarts.

If a playlist you created does not appear in your Family YouTube Library, open the playlist in YouTube and make sure its visibility is set to Public. Only public playlists can be imported into InLign.

After changing the playlist visibility, return to the parent portal and refresh the Playlists tab.

No. InLign removes access to comments, recommendations, and broader YouTube browsing features so the experience stays focused on assigned channels and playlists.

InLign doesn't replace your device's parental controls. If your child can open the YouTube app or visit youtube.com in a web browser, they can still access YouTube outside of InLign. We recommend blocking both the YouTube app and youtube.com on your child's device so InLign becomes their dedicated way to watch curated YouTube content.
