YouTube launches new features to help parents better understand and supervise the activity their teenagers on the platform. In the YouTube Family Centre, it is now possible to easily link your accounts to that of your child.
Simplified Activity Monitoring
Once your accounts are connected, here is the information you will be able to access:
- Get an overview of videos uploaded by your child, this includes public, private, and unlisted videos.
- View the number of lives (live broadcasts) that he has produced.
- Access the comments posted on other videos.
- Discover the chains to which your child subscribes.
Notifications and Advice for Responsible Use
In addition to monitoring, you have the option of receiving e-mail notifications on your child's activity. YouTube also offers resources created in collaboration with experts to encourage constructive discussions on the responsible content creation.
Our Recommendation
We encourage parents to use these tools to establish open dialogue with their teenagers. These features can be an excellent starting point for discussing sensitive topics while respecting your children's independence.
