Helpful Hint: Check out Playlists! (New Feature on Zinnia!)

We’ve received lots of requests like:

My mom is crazy about the baby videos. Is there a way to just watch all the baby videos?

-or-

The animal videos really capture my husband’s attention. It would be great if I could turn on Zinnia and have enough animal videos play one after the other to keep him occupied long enough for me to make dinner.

We heard you! And we responded by creating a new Popular Playlists option. This is not a new channel – ‘Popular Playlists’ is located on the Zinnia home screen just below the Channels option. At Zinnia, we never advocate ‘parking’ someone in front of a television. But if the caregiver needs a bit of respite, and a playlist of Zinnia videos work to keep a person engaged and happy long enough for the caregiver to get a bit of a break? We love that.

We just added this feature and will continue to add new playlists. Please share if there is a playlist that you would love to see!

Remember that we also have our Longer Videos channel, where you can find things like the Let’s Watch Together videos that create a longer, guided viewing experience.


Subscriber Feedback from Sarah:

My husband and I have explored several of the channels and he finds it easy to follow and entertaining. Being a retired professor, he especially enjoys the quizzes. I hope you will change them up from time to time.

He also likes the sing-alongs. 

He watched a little bit of the Winnie-the-Pooh reading. Although he enjoys being read to, it didn't hold his interest for very long. I suggest that you have more age appropriate readings.

Thanks so much for the feedback, Sarah! Glad that you are enjoying the quizzes. We are about to ramp up production of those. If you have ideas for topics you would like to see, let us know!

Thank you, too, for the feedback about what is not working for you. We know that not every selection of content will work for every subscriber – but every bit of feedback helps guide future content development.
