Despite this prevalence of usage, research examining video chat use by babies under two in their own homes is limited.

Sesame Workshop's Rosemarie Truglio and Jennifer Kotler then provide a commentary discussing how the mission of Sesame Workshop to harness the power of media to help children grow smarter (academic skills and executive function skills), stronger (physical health and resiliency skills), and kinder (building empathy, compassion, and other prosocial behavior) is put into practice to develop better media tools for families. They discuss how other engaging media tools, like videos designed specifically for families in these circumstances, can add to families' tool box when they are parenting or grandparenting at a distance.
