Watch with the settings your grown-up chose.
The big ideaWatch with the settings your grown-up chose. Never chat with strangers. Tell a grown-up if unsure.

How it works

Autoplay plays the next video by itself, and the next. A grown-up can turn it off.

Some videos are for older people. Meeting one is never your fault.

Anyone can write a comment, even people you do not know. A stranger who asks to chat is not a friend.

Ask a grown-up before you change a setting.

A video that is not for kids.

Example 1: Autoplay

  1. One castle video ended and another started by itself.
  2. The app picks the videos and does not know when to stop.
  3. A grown-up turns autoplay off, so you pick each video yourself.

Example 2: A video not for kids

  1. A new video was loud, with grown-ups laughing at someone in a mean way.
  2. Amara felt funny in her tummy, so she closed it and turned the tablet over.
  3. She told Auntie Joy, who said, It is not your fault.
Signs• Loud shouting• Mean laughing• A warning for older people• A funny tummyMade for kids• A cardboard castle build• A counting song• A puppy at play
Signs it is not for kids.

Example 3: A comment

  1. A comment said, Join my private chat, just us!
  2. Amara did not know the name, so she did not reply or click.
  3. A stranger can say they are ten, but you cannot know who is typing.
  4. She told a grown-up instead.
