Frequently asked questions
How does Watchkin work?
Paste a YouTube link to open the focused player. To find something new, enter search terms in the same box.
Does filtering guarantee suitable videos?
No. Keyword filtering checks discovery text. It does not inspect video, audio or image content. Preview videos before sharing them with a class or family.
Will my old Watchkin links work?
Existing Watchkin links are supported. New ordinary links use the YouTube video ID directly.
Do I need an account?
No account is needed for ordinary viewing and sharing.
