Changing Parental Viewing Permissions on Quibi

Changing Parental Viewing Permissions on Quibi

By Mona Leave a Comment

Quibi is a unique content platform, making waves among the classic options like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. They present most of their content in bite-sized pieces that feature short-length films. Their interesting delivery style has a significant bearing on the kind of control that might be practical for shows on this system.

With the wide range of things allowed in today’s programming, parents have to be able to adjust viewing permissions to limit access to specific shows, programs, or episodes.

While the program provides certain ratings that are linked to its content and shows, it, unfortunately, doesn’t have a specific feature for direct parental control on their system. So how can you adjust those settings and permissions?

Does Quibi Have Parental Control Features?

To facilitate some parental control, Quibi includes certain subtitle features that come in both English and Spanish. Most users, however, find these features to be significantly limited, and it’s not possible to customize the subtitles’ appearance. Also, the system’s default text usually hampers content control functionality.

The fact that Quibi lacks a powerful parental control feature is particularly significant, given that much of the featured content is widely considered as unsuitable for minors.  Parents can only restrict a measure of content for each video streaming service, using Quibi’s content rating service.

As an alternate option, Tubi is a free site that also comes with some options for parental control. Given that Quibi doesn’t offer multiple accounts for every profile, it makes the whole process of content restriction to be trickier.

View Settings and Information on Quibi

If you are interested in a particular show or program offered on Quibi, you can follow this simple process to continue enjoying the show, despite restrictions or limitations.

Tap on “the show” to allow it to get into playback mode, then the “ellipsis menu.” You will find this in the bottom corner that features the show thumbnail. At this point, you will be able to read the episode description. Next, navigate to the show’s “detail page.” Follow the show, download the series, or share. You can go to the top of the series’ landing page and find a description, the schedule for release, and a comprehensive list of other available episodes.

To access information about the cast and crew featured on a show, go to the bottom. Here, you will find that Quibi features a section that enables viewers to organize the scheduled content in a single place. You may toggle the notifications to work on a show-by-show basis. Also, you can utilize Quibi’s feature for offline download to access your popular shows. You can even download and store any short video with this feature, instead of downloading a full-length show online.

Even with this process, Quibi does not offer recommendations on parental restrictions applying to the various shows. But this does make it easy to access all your favorite shows on this platform without a hassle.

Alternatives to Parental Controls

A VPN can offer valuable protection while watching Quibi shows. It can create an encrypted tunnel for streaming services while linking your device with a server. It can also interfere with your online searches, working more or less like a virtual control mechanism. Still, most video streaming devices usually have to comply with similar region-locked service features.

Conclusion

The fact that Quibi does not have a direct parental control mechanism does not mean that your family can enjoy all shows on this platform without challenges. You can still use Quibi’s content rating feature to control access to shows. However, you can use the simple tips above to let your family enjoy shows and movies on Quibi.
