What Parents Need to Know about Live Streaming

Published 6th June 2018

A free online safety guide on live streaming.

Live streaming is the term used to describe the broadcast of a real time video from a mobile device, tablet or games console. Many live streaming apps have functionality for interactions from viewers, such as commenting, live chats and sending reactions during the broadcast. Live streaming opens up a world of excitement for children, where they can watch live concerts, their favourite celebrities and bloggers/vloggers, connect with their friends, watch live gaming and much, much more.

In this guide, you'll find tips on avoiding potential risks such as online grooming, threats to privacy and security and damage to online reputation.
