Getting Started

There are a few things you need to do to get up and running with LivingRoom. This tutorial is meant to walk you through the required steps.

Step 1: Set up your parent account

To start out, if you haven't already created a LivingRoom parent account you'll need to do that first. To create an account click this link and follow the sign-up instructions.

Step 2: Get Connection Code

In the parent account dashboard, add a child.

Enter your child's name, and click 'save'

Using your child's iPhone or iPad, scan this QR code to open the LivingRoom for Families App Store page and install it:

Step 3: Connect Child's Device

On your child's iPhone or iPad, go through the first-time onboarding in the app until you get to the Connection Code step. You can enter the connection code from the parent dashboard that you requested in the previous step.

Step 4: Show your Child

Instruct your child that to use their iPhone or iPad, they need to open the LivingRoom app and start the screen recorder.

Step 5: Customize Always Allowed Apps

By default, the LivingRoom app blocks all apps and only unblocks them when the screen is being recorded. For highly trusted apps, you can exempt them from the screen recording requirement.
