Family Sharing

The Family Sharing function allows parents to easily invite family to join their account, as well as provide greater control over privacy by allowing parents (account owner) to customize the usage permissions of other family members. Parents may share their baby monitor with up to 7 family members with this function.

🐤 CuboAi Tip: The Family Sharing function allows you to invite family and friends to join your account without having to create their own account.

To share CuboAi baby monitor with your Family, please follow the steps below:

1. Make sure your family or friends have downloaded the CuboAi App
2. On the "Settings" page, tap on the tab of the baby monitor you'd like to share at the top, click "Family Sharing Settings"

5. Click "Generate Invite Link"
6. Choose how you’d like to share this invite (for example, share via Messenger, WhatsApp, etc or with a QR code)
   - Via Communication Apps: Please send your friends/family an invitation link via the App of choice. Upon clicking your link they’ll be invited to join your account

CuboAi Reminder:

- Some ad blocker apps (i.e. AdGuard) will block CuboAi App's Family Sharing function, please turn off the ad blocker app when trying to join the Family Sharing, and only turn it back on once you've successfully joined.

- The same link cannot be used more than once - invitation links will expire upon use. If your invited friends/family members choose not to join immediately, they will have 48 hours to do so before their link expires.
If a link expires, you can send them a new invitation by following the steps below:

1. Click "Settings" in the CuboAi App, tap on the tab of the baby monitor you'd like to share at the top
2. Under the "Account" section, click "Family Sharing Settings"
3. Select the person whose link expired
   
4. Click "Resend" to send another invitation link
   
   

- Due to security reasons, the account owner, along with all family sharing members connected to the baby monitor, will be automatically logged out after a one year login period, and will require the account owner to sign in again and re-invite the family sharing members.

• Family Sharing Member Types and Permissions

In addition to the Account Owner, there are 2 role types in the Family Sharing function with different levels of permissions:

• Admin:
  Cannot add/ remove members or change Family Sharing permissions, cannot pair/unpair with baby monitor, and access & update Baby Profile, otherwise identical permissions to the Account Owner.
• Other Family Members:
  Access to 2-way audio, Moments Wall, 18-hour playback, and event notifications is controlled by the Account Owner. In addition, members within this category cannot change settings.  

You may choose to invite others as "Admin" or as "Other Family Members" and modify roles anytime. Furthermore, although there is a limit of 7 total invited members, you may assign as many or few of those accounts as you wish to be “Admins" or "Other Family Members". You can choose the Admin : Other Family Member ratio that is right for your family.

• FAQs

1. How do I switch the account type of Admin and Other Family Members?

1. Under "Family Sharing Settings", select the member whose role type you’d like to change.
   
2. Click on the role you wish to change to (Admin or Other Family Members)

2. What can be accessed by friends and family members whom I share my account with?

Aside from members in the "Admin" group, who holds the same permission as the Account Owner, parents can customize the following permissions for the “Other Family Members” group:

• Hear Audio
• Use Microphone
• View Moments Wall
• Replay the Last 18 Hours on baby monitor
• Receive CuboAi App Event Alerts

3. How can I control the permissions of "Other Family Members"? Can I customize the permissions of each user? 

All Other Family Members' permission levels are uniform. It is not possible to assign individual Family Member unique permissions. (For example, upon disabling Other Family Members' microphone permissions, everyone in the "Other Family Members" group will become unable to talk with Baby via the CuboAi App. Only the Account Owner and members in the Admin group will be able to make use of this feature.)

To edit Other Family Members’ permissions, please follow the steps below:

1. Go into "Settings", tap on the tab of the baby monitor you'd like to share at the top
2. Under Account, click on "Family Sharing Settings"
3. Click on "Other Family Member Permissions". From there, you may adjust Family Member permissions as needed. 
    
   

CuboAi Reminder: It will take about a minute for the changes you’ve made to take effect. Users will not be notified of any permission changes (gained/lost).

4. How do I remove members from my account?

To remove a member from your account, please follow the steps below:

1. Click "Settings" in the CuboAi App, tap on the tab of the baby monitor you'd like to share at the top
2. In the "Account" section, click "Family Sharing Settings"
3. Select the member whom you wish to remove from your account
4. Click "Stop"
   
   

CuboAi Reminder: After removing a family member from your account, they will no longer be able to access your account. If you wish to add them back onto your account, you’ll need to send them a new invitation link or generate a new QR code for them to scan.

5. How do I control when other family members can stream in?

You may use the Sleep Mode feature to turn CuboAi/CuboAi Plus off temporarily so no one will be able to view the live stream.

To put CuboAi baby monitor into Sleep Mode, please refer to this article for further details.
