CHOOSE HOW YOUR FAMILY WATCHES
With how much time we’re all spending together at home, there’s never been a better time to share movies with each other. Whether you want to re-watch your favorites or discover the latest releases with your family, we understand that you want to ensure every member of your family has a safe, appropriate viewing experience every time they open Vudu.
So many of our loyal Vudu fans have asked for better family viewing options to help screen for objectionable content, and in response we are proud to unveil our new suite of customizable family features that you can adjust to your family’s needs and preferences. These include Parental Controls, Family Play*, Common Sense Media ratings, Kids mode for viewing movies, Kids Store with plenty of family friendly titles, and now Lists, which let you add movies to different lists – so every member of the family can have their own.
PARENTAL CONTROLS
Get peace of mind with Parental Controls. Restrict what younger viewers can watch and purchase on your shared devices by setting your preferences and controlling access using a unique pin number.
FAMILY PLAY
While some movies may simply be too adult for kids to watch, others may contain a few instances of objectionable content that if skipped over, can be enjoyed by everyone. That’s where Family Play comes in by letting you skip or mute objectionable content like substance abuse, language, violence, and sex and nudity. It is currently available on over 500 eligible titles, with new titles added each week.
We know every family is different, so we’ve made sure you can select
the content you’d like to avoid while leaving in everything else.
If nudity and drug use are deal breakers for your family viewing but
violence is ok, simply turn on Family Play, select those options, and hit play.
If the kids go to bed and you want to watch the rest without skipping, just
turn off Family Play without leaving the movie and keep on enjoying the show.
You can also create a four-digit pin to prevent kids from turning off Family
Play.
For even more flexibility, set up Family Play only on the devices you want. Looking to use it on the family TV, but not on your tablet? No problem. Family Play is currently available on web, iOS and Android devices, and select Samsung TVs (excluding 2017), newer LG TVs (2017 models and up), and Xbox One. Get complete details here.
RATINGS AND REVIEWS WITH A PARENT’S PERSPECTIVE
We know it can sometimes be difficult to figure out which titles are
appropriate for different members of your family, which is why we’re working
with Common Sense Media to make finding the perfect content for any age easier than
ever before.
Common Sense Media is an independent, research-backed nonprofit trusted
by millions of parents and educators to give the best, most in-depth
recommendations for family entertainment. As the number one source of entertainment
and technology recommendations for families and schools, Common Sense media’s
age-based ratings and reviews provide dependable guidance on what you can
expect from movies and shows before you rent, buy, or press play.
Going well beyond MPAA ratings you can now get details on adult themes
and content like violence, language, and sexual situations, as well as
parent-minded themes like positive messages or role models, and consumerism.
Simply scroll to the “Parental Guide” on a title you’re interested in to get an easy-to understand breakdown of a movie or show’s content, as well as a recommended age range for younger viewers. Click here for a list of rated titles.
KIDS MODE
Want to rest easy knowing your kids are watching only age-appropriate
content, even if you’re not there? Activate Kids Mode on your mobile devices,
smart TVs, and other devices to restrict your kids’ viewing to only Common
Sense Media rated titles within your collection and the specific age limit you
set.
Whether the kids are using Vudu with the babysitter while you enjoy a
night out, or you’re letting them take control of your device, you can rely on
Kids Mode to create an appropriate entertainment experience. You can also require
a four-digit PIN to exit Kids Mode to ensure their curiosity doesn’t take them
out of Kids Mode. And you can choose whether you want to show any of our free
titles that meet your age-appropriateness setting.
Kids Mode is currently available on iOS/Android devices, Samsung TVs, Vizio TVs, LG TVs, Roku, and Xbox One. Like Family Play you can use Kids Mode on the devices just on the devices you choose. Details and frequently asked questions here.
KIDS STORE
Our curated Kids Store lets you and your family browse through
thousands of family-friendly titles to purchase or rent, and even includes ones
you can stream for free. Let the kids take control and browse for old favorites
or new discoveries without worrying about adult or inappropriate content coming
up in their search.
While Kids Mode restricts browsing to age-appropriate titles already in
your collection, Kids Store lets you and your kids browse and discover all our age-appropriate
titles in a safe, family-friendly section of the Vudu store. While free titles
may contain ads, those ads are also screened for age-appropriate content only,
so you don’t have to worry about adult content slipping through.
