Teachers ask

Do students need an account or an email?

No. They scan the QR code or type the code at becauseyouwatched.com/vote, add a first name and tap a film. Nothing else is asked for. You don't need an account either.

Can students add their own films?

No. In a class vote only the teacher can add or take off films, so you stay in charge of what's on the list.

Are students' names shown?

No. The board and the poll show vote counts only. Names are only used so each student gets one vote.

How do I keep to age ratings?

You choose every film on the shortlist, so pick ones with the right certificate for your class and your school's policy (for example U or PG). Each film shows its year and poster to help you check.

Can a student vote twice?

Each phone or computer gets one vote. Tapping another film moves the vote, and tapping theirs again takes it back.

Is it free?

Yes. It's free, with no ads on the poll or the screen view.
