HOUSEPARTY / ZOOM / NETFLIX
WHAT?
Three of the most popular Apps around currently, whether for staying in contact with others, or for watching the latest TV shows and films.
GOOD OR BAD?
Good.
None of these are dangerous apps, but there are settings you should always consider for keeping children as safe as possible
On Houseparty, make sure any room the child is in is 'locked'. This means people can't just add themselves to the chat room
On Zoom, to stop people 'zoombombing', prior to the call, select settings and under screen sharing, ensure this is set to 'host only'
On Netflix, to ensure child is watching only age appropriate content, click on 'account', then click on 'parental controls'
