Did you know ALM has a YouTube channel? That's where we post video announcements for new member benefits, walkthrough videos and promos. More is planned, so subscribe today!
Also, please note, that due to the new COPPA law in effect for all YouTube videos, channel owners are required to designate whether or not their channel is for children. Be assured, all content from ALM is safe for young viewers; however, we are not "child content," so we must select the "not for children" option. Because of this, there is a possibility you may get a notice when watching one of our videos that it is deemed not safe for children. This is due to the channel settings to ensure our videos are searchable, that we can build playlists if needed, and utilize other YouTube features. Our videos are safe for all ages, they just may not entertain your toddler!
If you have any questions, please email ALM's Marketing & Communications Manager Nicole Morris at nmorris@almnet.org. More information about COPPA is available on the FTC website.
