How it works
Three steps. Most of it happens before the call.
Schedule your next video call.
Your kid gets the invitation link by email, and can safely login with the 4-digit PIN, which you have provided separately.

Research
“The key conclusion is that the effect of the video call is determined by what is happening during the call and not by the platform itself.”
The project investigated how structured video calls can help long-distance parents maintain emotional closeness with their children.

Questions dads ask
Anything else before you start?
FaceTime, WhatsApp and Google Meet are mainly built to help you see and talk to each other. iZiViD is built to help you spend time together.
Prepare a Session Timeline, watch videos, play games, draw, read stories, work on Goals & Rewards or use content your child already loves.
The call no longer has to depend on conversation alone. There is always something you can experience together.
If your current video calls already give you the connection you want, you may not need to change them.
iZiViD is for the calls that have become repetitive, too short or difficult to keep going. Instead of searching for another question to ask, you can simply move on to something you planned to do together.
It takes the pressure off the conversation and gives both of you more reasons to stay in the call.
During a real visit, you do not sit opposite each other talking every second. You watch something, play, draw, read, learn, laugh or simply spend time together.
iZiViD brings that same idea into a video call. Instead of forcing conversation, you can be together and share experiences.
No. It works as easily as the video call tools you already know, with powerful extras built around the call.
You can prepare as much or as little as you want. Build a Session Timeline beforehand, choose something from the Community, or simply start the call and use activities when you need them.
Using the Session Timeline in Support →You can start for free. Your child never needs a paid account to join your calls.
If you later want more, additional options are available and you will always see your local price before you pay.
Membership & pricing in Support →Children from about 2 to 12. Different children enjoy different ways of connecting, so iZiViD is built around activities rather than one fixed age group.
Choose games, stories, drawing, videos, learning activities and other content that matches your child’s age, interests and attention span. The interface adapts to the age you set, and you decide which tools are unlocked for each child.
Age settings in Support →A laptop, desktop, tablet or phone with a camera, a microphone and a stable internet connection — we recommend at least 5 Mbps. Current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari are supported. A working camera is required on both sides: if you switch your video off, your child’s feed pauses too.
You can prepare the Session Timeline and activities beforehand, so your child does not need to organise the call or prepare content themselves.
Devices & browsers in Support →Not necessarily. You schedule the call, and your child joins with the link and PIN you gave them. How much another parent or trusted adult is involved depends on your child’s age, device access and family situation.
If another adult needs access or needs to help your child join, you can invite your child’s other parent or another trusted adult. Every invitation they send your child comes back to you for approval.
Trusted adults in Support →Yes. You can use your own photos and videos alongside iZiViD content — add them from your device or your cloud storage, or prepare a YouTube playlist to watch together in real time.
That makes it easier to build activities around memories, interests and things that matter specifically to your child. Netflix and similar subscriptions are not supported yet.
Sharing photos & videos in Support →Yes. Everything you create starts private to your family. Personal media and activities do not have to be shared with the Community.
You choose per item, and only share something when you deliberately decide to.
Safety & privacy in Support →iZiViD is built for one-on-one calls, because that is where the relationship is. Two children can sit together at the same device, but two child accounts cannot join the same call from different places.
Multiple children in Support →iZiViD works in most languages, and the community library can be filtered by language so you find content your child can actually read.
From the Calendar in the right-hand menu: pick a date and time and confirm the session. On desktop you can add it to your own calendar in one click.
Scheduling in Support →Only for a planned call, and only from ten minutes before it starts. Until you begin the call, the rest of the app stays closed to them.
Child log-in in Support →Nothing here matches that.
