sesamestreet.org is an official Sesame Street website, featuring video clips, games, playlists, and more. The site debuted in August 2008.

Prior to the launch of the site, an advertisement for the website, featuring Elmo, Chris, Cookie Monster, and the Twiddlebugs, was produced and included on various Sesame Street DVDs. A shortened version has appeared at the end of various episodes of The Sesame Street Podcast.

Although Grover thinks it would help increase traffic, the site does not feature any videos of kitty cats sitting on the potty.^[1]

The earliest version of the site was in the form of a video archive, launched in December 2007 with an introduction by Grover. In addition to providing segments from the show (all given a "Sesamestreet.org" logo in the corner), the site's video section also included clips exclusively available online. "Backstage with Elmo" features interviews with recent celebrities who appeared on the show. The main page also featured newly produced video content, promoted as a themed day (such as "Number 5 Day" or "Grover Day"), though these "days" often appear on the site for at least a week. The site ranked #15 in Time’s "50 Best Websites 2010."^[2]

In 2016, the website was completely redesigned to match up with the Sesame Street app. This version introduced more mobile-friendly games, in addition to reflecting the new set redesign as of Season 46.
