How it works
Add KidSafe Pacing from its verified Chrome Web Store listing when available.
Visit YouTube in Chrome and play a standard video or a Short.
View the live score and category while watching. Open the extension popup for recent local results.
Understanding the indicator
The categories summarize measurable visual pacing. They describe how the visuals change over time.
Slow visual change and limited movement.
Moderate visual change and movement.
Frequent visual change and movement.
Very frequent visual change and movement.
These labels describe visual pacing only. They do not assess content quality, age suitability, safety, developmental impact, or clinical outcomes. “Overstimulating” is a visual pacing category, not a diagnosis. Use the indicator as context alongside your own judgment.
Privacy first
