Kick

Kick is a livestreaming platform where users can watch creators broadcast content in real time. Content can include gaming, sports, music, casual conversations, and other live entertainment.

Many young people use Kick to watch gaming streams, follow favorite creators, and feel connected to online communities. Live chat can make the experience feel more interactive and personal than watching regular videos. Some youth may also be drawn to Kick because it feels less filtered and more spontaneous than other platforms.

Kick includes livestreams, live chat, creator profiles, followers, subscriptions, donations, and content categories. Viewers can interact with streamers and other viewers while watching. Some streams may also be labeled as 18+ when the content is intended for adults.

Users can scroll through livestreams, follow creators, join live chats, and interact with other viewers. Streamers broadcast live while viewers comment, react, subscribe, or send donations. Because the content happens in real time, what youth see or hear can change quickly.

People who are 13 years old, or 16 in Europe, or older but under the age of majority where they reside, which is 18 in most jurisdictions, may only use KICK with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to KICK’s Terms of Service.

Kick can include fun and entertaining content, but livestreaming platforms can also expose youth to mature language, inappropriate topics, bullying, scams, or contact from strangers. Since chat happens live, harmful comments may appear before they are removed. Parents may want to talk with youth about who they watch, what chats they join, and when to block, report, or ask for help.
