Some streaming apps have built-in safety features to protect their copyrighted material from piracy. Their safety features may conflict with Covenant Eyes on some Android™ devices.

  • When a streaming app on an Android™ detects Covenant Eyes using screencasting, it may block its content to protect it from piracy.

  • Covenant Eyes is not blocking the streaming app; it's just a technical impasse.

  • To protect their copyrighted material, some streaming apps may produce black screenshots in your email Check-in or the Victory app's Activity Feed.
