Resources for Parents
Everything you need to know about keeping your child safe while they explore the wonders of space on our platform.
When your child joins the Live Chat, they'll go through our 3-step verification process. During Step 2 (Parental Consent), you can set a custom PIN that gives you access to Parent Mode. This PIN lets you monitor your child's chat session, view their messages, flag concerning content, and end their session at any time.
