Public YouTube Music-tablet, without GMail etc

[Android Central Question]

Hi, I use YouTube Music as my music streaming service, and bluetooth. I use the paid account, and have my playlists etc. When I have parties it's inconvenient to stream from my phone, if I get a call or need to leave momentarily music is interrupted.

I want to have a "public" tablet, like a music station. But since I use YouTube Music, I assume I can't just sign into YT Music but the actual device need to be signed in to my Google Account. This in turn, I assume, means the tablet will have full and unlocked access to my personal GMail, Chrome search history, bookmarks, chrome tabs. Using GMail one can reset passwords and get access to anything in my life.

Are there any options, how to use my YouTube Music account on a public tablet?

Welcome to Android Central! The Pin Screen feature would be handy for that -- it would prevent anyone from being able to access anything else. https://support.google.com/android/answer/9455138?hl=en. I believe it requires a tablet with Android 11 or higher.

If you can still pin an app (my Tab S7 on Android 12 is not showing the option as it used to be so I'd have to look into that more) pin the app, which would then require the unlock PIN to switch to another app.

You might also see if there's a "kiosk" app of some kind, I don't have any personal experience with any of those.
