What you’ll learn about a channel or video

A clear read on what your kids will see and hear.

Language

Mature themes

Sexual content, alcohol, drugs and smoking, and emotionally heavy topics.

Channels change over time, so for the clearest answer you can check a specific video link.

How it works

Three short steps from “Can I?” to a decision you feel good about.

  1. 1

    Search or paste

    Enter a channel name, or paste a video link.

  2. 2

    We screen the content

    Our screening technology reviews information about the channel or video.

  3. 3

    Decide together

    Read the report and agree on what fits your family’s screen time.

Guidance for your family, not rules for it

Guidance, not a guarantee

Reports draw on detailed information about each title, and they can still make mistakes. You know your child best, and the final decision is always yours.

Your values, your call

We describe what’s in a title plainly and neutrally. We don’t tell you what to allow. We give you the context to decide.

We never sell your data

Your searches and your family’s details stay private. You can delete your account and its data at any time.

Questions parents ask

Do you watch every video on a channel?

No. Channels can post new videos at any time, and comments, ads and recommendations change too. For the clearest answer, check a specific video link.

Does it check for overstimulating videos?

Yes. Reports note rapid edits, flashing effects and high-energy content when information supports it, since some children find this kind of content overwhelming.

Is a channel ever labeled “safe”?

We never label anything as guaranteed safe. Reports give guidance for your child’s age, and you make the final call.
