How to Enable Age Restriction on Your Live Session

Ensures compliance with legal requirements, protects younger audiences from inappropriate content, and maintains the brand's safety.

Got content that's only for viewers 18+? Terrific makes it easy to add an age verification pop-up: your audience will need to confirm their age before entering the session. Here's how to set it up.

Step 1. Open your session settings

Go to Sessions in the left menu and click on the session you want to configure.

Once inside, click the Settings tab at the top.

Step 2. Turn on Age restriction

Scroll down until you see the Age restriction section. Flip the toggle to the right to enable it.

As soon as you turn it on, a set of fields will appear so you can personalize the pop-up and a live preview on the right side of the screen will update in real time as you type.

Step 3. Customize your pop-up

Here's what each field does:

A) Pop up Title. The headline your viewers will see first. Keep it clear and direct (e.g., "Confirm Your Age"). Up to 50 characters.

B) Body text. A short message explaining why age verification is required (e.g., "This content is for audiences 18 and above. By continuing, you confirm you meet the age requirement."). Up to 200 characters.

C) Consent text. The label next to the checkbox viewers must tick (e.g., "I confirm that I am above the age of 18"). Up to 50 characters.

D) Age confirmation button text. The button viewers click to confirm they're old enough (e.g., "Submit"). Up to 20 characters.

E) Under aged button text. The option for viewers who don't meet the requirement (e.g., "I am underaged"). Up to 20 characters.

Step 4. Save your settings

Once you're happy with how it looks in the preview, click Save session in the top right corner. Your age restriction pop-up is now live and ready!

Why does this matter? Age restriction helps you comply with legal requirements for age-sensitive content, protect younger audiences, and maintain your brand's credibility, all with just a toggle.
