How to Set Up zoobly on Your Windows Computer?

Hello zoobly Parent 👋

We’re excited to help you with setting up zoobly on your Windows computer. With zoobly in place, your child’s device time becomes a safe and balanced experience.

1. Before You Begin

A little preparation will make this setup quick and smooth:

• Administrator Login: Sign in to the device as an administrator to stay in full control and keep zoobly secure. Create a Windows standard user account (local account) for each of your children (make sure they are not administrator accounts).
• Supported Versions: Zoobly works on Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. Older versions and Domain/Active Directory setups aren’t supported.
• Zoobly Account: Create a zoobly account from the Parent app or the zoobly website.
• Antivirus Check: Please uninstall Kaspersky, Norton or ESET antivirus, as they may prevent zoobly from installing correctly.
• Disable Default Windows Parental Controls: Turn these off to avoid conflicts with zoobly.

4. Link Your Child’s zoobly profile to the Windows User Account

You’re nearly done! Connect your child’s zoobly profile to the child’s Windows user account to enable content filtering.

1. Select your child’s Windows user account from the list.

   

2. Connect it to the zoobly child profile you’ve already created.

   (If you haven’t created a profile yet, you can add one here.)

Post-Setup Tips

1. Clear Browsing Data

   Sign in to your child’s Windows account and clear all browser cookies and cache. This helps zoobly’s content filter to work seamlessly.

2. Access the zoobly Dashboard

   Your child can right click on the zoobly app in the icons (system) tray on their account to access zoobly child dashboard and view their screentime summary and upcoming schedules.
