FAQ

What do parents need to know about Zigazoo?

TechCrunch described Zigazoo as “the TikTok for kids” when it passed 100,000 video uploads in June 2020. One week after that, Zigazoo was up to almost half a million video uploads. The comparison and fast growth grabbed our attention. Here are some key features of Zigazoo.

What kinds of videos are on Zigazoo?

- Videos that are uploaded answer a selected question, like ‘Can you make a parachute for a toy?’ or ‘Can you use your 5 senses to describe an item in your fridge?’

- If you click on the question, then a collection of example videos from users who opted-in to sharing publicly (designated with a green check mark; also I have not found where to opt-in so I think that these green check mark users must have been early adopters and/or app testers) will be available.

- There is a red camera button where parents can film their kids answering the question.

Who can see the videos you add to Zigazoo?

- Only other users who you are friends with.

- Zigazoo’s goal is to create small groups of friends with a commonality, like a playgroup or classroom in order to create safe and fun ‘edutainment.’

- Kids are not meant to use the app without an adult, and the app was not created to gather up a large following like TikTok or YouTube.

- You can search for a person and send a friend request. It is up to you to approve them (similar to Facebook). You can not see another user’s videos until you are friends with them.

How can I interact with videos? 

There is a heart icon to show that you like the video and a comment bubble to leave a comment.

    Children4Charity: Zigazoo launched a competition in which kids can submit videos to raise awareness for certain charities.

    Zigazoo channels: In the summer of 2020, Zigazoo will launch Zigazoo channels. They are partnering with children’s entertainment companies, museums, zoos, podcasts, libraries, etc. to add more educational content to the app.

Is there inappropriate content on Zigazoo? 

None that we could find. Because the public videos shown are verified and moderated, we were unable to find any inappropriate content. However, if someone in your friend group posts something inappropriate, there is no way to block or report the video. Users can unfriend anyone in their friend list. Zigazoo added human moderators in July 2020 so that anyone can submit a video for the public feed, which the moderator will reject or approve.

How is privacy guarded on Zigazoo? 

A Google account or an email are required to use the app. A user name and display can be created. There is no other information collected from the user.
