I would appreciate more parental control over what my children are exposed especially with effects.
I was horrified to look up today and see that my 5 year old on the other end had selected an effect that was akin to something from The Ring, and my 3 year old was on my end. I had ZERO control over what my children were exposed to at that moment. My 5 year old was not trying to pick something scary and inappropriate, but this effect was just there waiting for him to click. Portal needs to have either ONLY effects that are appropriate for small children, or they need to provide parental control over what comes through the screen (maybe the ability to select which effects are allowed on BOTH ends--it is pointless if I can only control what is on my end but whoever I'm talking to can still send any image). This was entirely inappropriate and disturbing.

There needs to be a Setting to disable access to the screen effects so they aren’t available during a call. This would make it much more usable for adults trying to call young children because once they know it’s there, they are very distracted by it (it becomes more like playing with a tablet than making a video call!)
