While a session plays on the TV, the Watch tab shows what’s on and gives you the controls.

What you see

  • The show and channel that’s on, and which TV it’s on.
  • Time left, with a slider.
  • What happens after the session.

What you can do

  • Change the time: slide Time left to shorten or extend the session.

  • Lock channels: keep your kid on the channel they’re on.
  • Change what happens after: tap the after-activity.
  • End now: go straight to the goodbye.

To pause, press the Dial, or use the TV’s own remote. To switch the show, use Play now on the Channels tab.
