What Parents Need to Know About Video Streaming Apps & Sites
Published 22nd September 2020
A free online safety guide on Streaming.
Streaming is the latest step in a journey that’s taken us all the way from records and cassettes to CDs and DVDs and, more recently, to downloads. It’s a seamless way of watching or listening to all sorts of content such as TV shows, films, sports highlights and music, over an internet connection in ‘real time’, without having to download a file or store it on your device. You can either stream ‘on-demand’ or live. YouTube was one of the first video streaming services to go mainstream, but today many of the world’s most popular websites are streaming platforms, including Netflix, Spotify, and BBC iPlayer.
In the guide, you'll find tips on a number of potential risks such as online scams, online addiction and inappropriate content.
