How to Start a Session

A session is a set stretch of watching on your TV, with a beginning, a middle and an end. There are two ways to start one.

Your kid presses the Dial

When a routine allows it, your kid presses the Dial and the session starts on the paired TV. It uses the routine’s length and after-activity, or your defaults. Outside routine hours, the Dial shows Mookee asleep and the time it opens, so your kid knows to wait or ask you.

You start it from your phone

  1. Open the Watch tab.
  2. Pick the kid who’s watching.
  3. Check the sentence: [Name]’s next session is set for [minutes] on [TV], then [after]. Tap any part to change it.
  4. Press the Dial on screen to start.

The session starts on the TV you picked. Your phone becomes its remote.

Good to know

  • Sessions run from 5 to 60 minutes.
  • Finish the episode lets a session run up to 5 extra minutes so a show isn’t cut off mid-story. Turn it off for an exact cutoff.
  • If the TV isn’t ready yet, the app tells you. Make sure the TV is on and the Meevee app is open on it.
