Do you also have a Showtime subscription that your family uses? Are you worried that your kids might be able to watch something they should not be watching according to their age? Parental controls are the savior in such a situation. Parental controls are available on the Showtime platform. You can use these parental controls to choose which type of content you want your family members to use your Showtime subscription to watch and which content you do not want them to watch. Using these parental controls is very easy. To know how to use them, you need to read this article and follow the instructions.

Log in

First, from a browser, you must log in to Showtime Anytime at this link - https://www.showtimeanytime.com/. Open a browser on your smartphone or computer. The browser must have the latest update to load the website without glitches. Once the browser is open, you must go to the Showtime Anytime website mentioned above.

If you can’t remember your password during the login process, you can use the forgot password feature to reset your password. After you have reset your password, you will need to log in to the website using this new password.

You can only proceed after successfully logging in to the Showtime Anytime website.

Settings

After you have logged in to the Showtime Anytime website, you will need to go to the settings of the Showtime Anytime platform. This settings option will be available on the main menu of the website. You just need to find it and then click on it when you find it, and then the settings menu will open up.

Viewing preferences

When the settings menu opens up, navigate to the "viewing preferences" option in the settings menu on the Showtime Anytime website. Now, you need to click on this ‘viewing preferences’ option to open the viewing preferences.

Here, in the viewing preferences, you will see that all the associated accounts are listed, and you can go to each account and choose the maximum allowed rating you want for each account. There are different ratings associated with each Showtime video. Ratings vary from safe for kids to strictly for adult categories. For a particular family member, there are some videos with the kind of ratings that you might not want to allow that family member to watch. You can choose the rating (associated with that family member’s account) just below the minimum rating you can’t allow that family member to watch. Similarly, you can choose the safe maximum rating that the videos that the respective family members can watch can have. Once you have chosen the safety ratings for each of your family members, you are done enabling the parental controls.

Important note:

You can enable/disable the parental controls of your Showtime account only if you are the primary account holder. There is no way for you to be able to change the parental controls if you are not the primary account holder of your Showtime account. Suppose you are the primary account holder of your Showtime subscription account. In that case, you will need to contact your TV provider if you want to enable or disable the parental controls of the Showtime platform for your subscription.
