Your kids are total fans of YouNow? We'll tell you what that is
YouNow here, YouNow there ... YouNow is just THE trend among kids. We'll tell you what that is and what you should look for.
Actually, I should learn about it now, but I do not feel like it at all, hahahaha! " Bored kids who talk about their lives - usually way too much - that's YouNow .
Many dream of being famous. And YouNow seems to give dreamers a feeling.
YouNow is an app for Android and iOS. In addition, it is a website that allows you to film and watch via its webcam or smartphone camera. Users of this video platform just sit down somewhere and film themselves. Live chat will display questions from viewers. It's like a big press conference or a fan meeting from home. The users answer questions in front of the camera like a star, many of the "fans" compliment - and you do not even have to be a great actress or singer. People just do it!
No wonder that YouNow has become a trend in Germany . In the last two months alone, the number of German-speaking users has risen by 250 percent - the company told Spiegel Online.

YouNow is not made for children - but is mainly used by them
Originally conceived for stars, musicians, actors and successful creators, YouNow wanted to get in touch with their fans. Or for even more unknown talents that could be discovered through YouNow.
But somehow the whole thing has become independent and most of the YouNow users are teenagers . The site may not actually use anyone under the age of 13, so the terms and conditions say, but if you have a little click through the portal, quickly come to doubt about who really sticks to it. Registration on YouNow via the Facebook, Twitter or Google Account, where the date of birth can be chosen freely.
