Your Child's filtering only needs to be turned off long enough to login to the streaming service. Once logged in, turn the filtering back to ensure other types of web content is still blocked.

A Child cannot stream video within the streaming service. The streaming video service detects the Family Zone content filter. The service is unable to work with the content filter and your Child's device displays an error when trying to play the video stream.
On a Child's device:
The Child sees an error message similar to,
"This video can't play, as you aren't connected to Wi-Fi. You can change this in settings"
- As a Parent, open the video streaming app's Settings
- Change the setting for Video Streaming from "Wi-Fi Only" to "Wi-Fi + Cellular"
Warning
Enabling "Wi-Fi + Cellular" is likely to use mobile phone data on a Child's device. Consider filtering Streaming Media under a Child's Age profile controls to limit mobile phone data usage.
