New York, NY (PRWEB) January 16, 2014 -- J-Tube, a new video review portal powered by KidzVuz on JumpStart, has officially been launched in JumpStart’s 3D online world, giving millions of JumpStart users the tools they need to create and share their own videos with their peers in the game. A new highlight of JumpStart’s existing player submissions feature, J-Tube-created videos will be moderated by KidzVuz, the only COPPA-compliant embeddable video platform with live moderation, the feature is now live at http://www.JumpStart.com.

There is almost no place where kids can legally submit their own videos -- except for KidzVuz, and now J-Tube on JumpStart.

With J-Tube, JumpStart players can watch videos generated by their fellow users and, using the KidzVuz embeddable recorder, create some of their very own. This feature will be an added enhancement to JumpStart’s existing kids’ submission platform, where players can submit stories, jokes, questions, shout-outs, and pictures in the game for fellow players to see. By clicking on the television-shaped icon on their toolbar in-game, players can access the KidzVuz-powered video recording feature to create and share their own videos, categorizing them by interest, to make it easy to find the videos they want to watch.

Eighty-three percent of kids watch an average of 255 videos every month.* But, as KidzVuz co-founder, Nancy Friedman, notes, “There is almost no place where kids can legally submit their own videos — except for KidzVuz, and now on J-Tube on JumpStart. KidzVuz is thrilled to be giving JumpStart's users what they want: a video platform of their own.”

With live content-moderation by KidzVuz , J-Tube provides kids with a safe space to view videos online and gives parents an added sense of security. JumpStart’s trusted brand consistently provides high-quality games for kids, and incorporating KidzVuz’ safe, moderated embeddable recorder into that proven brand experience gives parents the assurance that their child will be seeing only the most appropriate kid-made content.

“Kids want to share their creativity and individualism with the world, and we have already made giant strides to this end through our current kid submission program in the JumpStart online world,” said David Lord, CEO of JumpStart. “J-Tube is more than just a video portal — it is a way for kids who play our game to go bigger and bolder than ever before in a safe, social and entertaining way. We’re thrilled to have partnered with KidzVuz to make this happen.”

Key features of J-Tube Powered by KidzVuz include:
• JumpStart branded video player powered by KidzVuz, featuring content made by kids
• Seamless integration with JumpStart’s proven 3D online game platform
• Easy, intuitive video creation tool developed by KidzVuz
• Live moderation staff trained by KidzVuz

“KidzVuz empowers kids to have their say, and encourages them to think critically about the things they love,” said KidzVuz co-founder Rebecca Levey. “JumpStart is a perfect partner. We are excited to be the video engine that turns JumpStart users into content creators.”
