Paramount+ is among the key players in the world of affordable and leading on-demand streaming platforms. Boasting a massive user base of 32 million, Paramount Plus offers a variety of movies and series and streams live sports.Â
But despite being a big name, Paramount+ also causes frustration among users. One complaint about the service that was noted recently is the age restricted content playback error warning like in a Kids profile with parental controls feature enabled. Users get the error message “Age Restricted Content Not available in kids profiles.” even when they’re using an account intended for adult viewers with unrestricted access.
However, as of writing, there is no information about this particular error warning. The good news is that there are several basic troubleshooting steps you can take to hopefully address this issue.
Troubleshooting and Fixing Parental Control Issue with Paramount+ Age Restricted Content Warning Keeps Appearing
Verify Browser Compatibility
Just so you know, Paramount Plus is compatible with many popular browsers including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. Make sure you choose and use a compatible browser updated to its latest version.
Check the Stability of Your Internet Connection
A stable internet connection is one of the best kept-secrets to prevent errors and warnings. Uninterrupted video streaming is possible if you have an internet speed of at least 4 to 5 Mbps. If you have an unstable connection, you can try to clear the cache of the browser or troubleshoot your router. If the problem persists, confirm the network issue with your internet service provider.Â
Reboot Your App and Device
You can also try to restart your Paramount+ app. This will reboot the app and clear RAM. Once the app has finished restarting, you can also restart the device you’re using.Â
