- Keep Watching: Once a video finishes, if no one touches the screen, the next fun video starts playing automatically.
Learn While Watching
- Educational Tags: Each video shows what your child will learn right on the screen as it’s shown in the Kids Home Area, so you know they're not just entertained, they're also learning.
Safe for Kids

What is Autoplay?
Autoplay streamlines your viewing by automatically cueing up the next video as soon as the current one finishes. This feature ensures the entertainment or learning doesn’t stop unless you decide otherwise.
Controls Display: By tapping anywhere on the screen, users can bring up the video controls for any needed interactions.
Hiding Controls: Controls can be hidden by simply tapping the video area again. They will also fade away after a few seconds if there’s no further interaction.
Video Completion: Once a video ends, the time-bar fills up, and the PAUSE/PLAY icon switches to a REPEAT icon. If no other selection is made within three seconds, the next video in the queue will start playing automatically.
How to lock the videos?
To lock videos on the device so that a child cannot exit, look for the lock icon , located at the top right corner of the screen. Pressing this icon will lock the video player, preventing the child from navigating away. To unlock, simply press the lock icon again.
