The challenge

Balancing the need for protection with providing children healthy autonomy in their digital activities.
With children increasingly exposed to a vast online landscape, parents are resorting to parental guidance apps and software to safeguard their online experiences. However, implementing these apps introduces dynamics that can create various pain points for children. These challenges arise from the need to balance the desire for protection with granting children a healthy degree of autonomy in their digital activities.

The solution

Advanced Video Preloading
The plugin operates by preloading videos 2 seconds in advance, allowing it to automatically screen out any unsuitable scenes, ensuring a seamless viewing experience for children without any disconnection.
Seamless Viewing Experience
The plugin enhances the viewing experience for young users by leveraging its preloading capabilities, thus eliminating disruptions and fostering a safe, enjoyable digital environment.
Proactive Content Filtering
An added layer of monitoring, the plugin captures screenshots and sends them to parents, offering a comprehensive solution for proactive content filtering and parental oversight.
