YouTube now lets parents keep tabs on their teen’s channel


Linking accounts will notify parents about new video uploads.

The accounts can be linked within YouTube’s Family Center, allowing parents to see shared insights such as subscriptions, comments, and how many uploads their child has made. Email notifications will also be sent out to both linked accounts to flag notable activity, such as when the teen uploads a new video or starts a livestream. YouTube calls this the “first iteration” that builds on existing supervision tools for preteens’ accounts and that additional features may be added to provide further insights into teenagers’ activity.
