Watch Cub

A little help.

Start with your family account

Watch Cub currently serves existing family accounts. Installing the companion does not create an account. Sign in, then choose Parent or a child's profile.

Can't open Parent?

Use your four-digit parent PIN. Choose Forgot PIN? in the profile picker to reset it with your account password. If you forgot that password, request a reset link.

The shelf is empty or closed

Check that the right child is selected, that a pick is approved on their shelf, and that the shelf's hours and timezone are correct. Parents can use Watch once for a timed exception.

A streaming site won't open

Start from an approved shelf pick, or choose Parent and enter your PIN for parent browsing. The provider may need its own sign-in or subscription. Sign into that provider directly; never share its password with Watch Cub.

The companion isn't connected

Use the Chrome profile where you installed it and refresh Watch Cub. Pin it from Chrome's puzzle-piece menu. Check Browser setup for the sites you selected. Open setup and update instructions.

After a browser restart or connection failure

Choose your profile again and start a fresh pick. If you haven't enabled site settings, close restored streaming tabs yourself. The companion returns its timed window when it cannot verify permission.
