Sharing with Teams: Collaborative Viewing

Teams in FamTiVi give you granular control over who can view specific Topics and channels. While your household may have diverse interests and age levels, Teams let you group related viewers and match them with appropriate content.

Teams also enable collaboration beyond the walls of your home: you can invite grandparents, babysitters, study pods, or sports teammates to share curated playlists without sharing account credentials or administrative control.

1. Why Use Teams?

Rather than exposing every family member to a single, monolithic channel list, Teams allow targeted sharing:

• Age-Appropriate Separation: Create a “Younger Kids” team for animated stories and early learning shows, and an “Older Kids” team for middle-school science, coding, and history documentaries.
• Collaborative Groups: Set up a team with classmates or friends for shared interests like chess puzzles, youth soccer training, or science club projects.
• Access Control: A member only sees Topics that are explicitly assigned to a Team they belong to.

2. Creating a Team

To create a new Team in the FamTiVi web dashboard:

1. Sign in to your account at famtivi.com .
2. Navigate to Teams in the top navigation.
3. Click Add Team to open the creation modal.
4. Enter a name for the team (e.g., “Elementary Learning”, “Weekend Family TV”, or “Coding Club”).
5. Optionally upload a team photo and add an optional description.
6. Click Create to save the new team.

3. Assigning Members and Topics to a Team

For a member to watch a Topic, both the Member profile and the Topic must be assigned to the same Team:

1. On the Teams dashboard, locate the team card.
2. Click the Choose Members button to open the member selection dialog. Check which household member profiles belong to this team and save. (Learn how to create member profiles in our Member Setup Guide ).
3. Click the Assign Topics button to open the topic assignment dialog. Check the Topics you want accessible to this team and save.

When a member logs into the FamTiVi player on web or mobile using their profile credentials, their channel guide will display only the Topics scheduled for the Teams they belong to.
