YouTube has announced expanded parental controls for tweens and teens. The upcoming feature is aimed at those who’ve perhaps outgrown the confines of YouTube Kids. YouTube will open a public beta for the supervised accounts feature in the coming months.
This will unlock a range of videos that YouTube says will be generally suitable for kids aged nine and older. They include the likes of vlogs, gaming clips, music videos, news and educational content.
YouTube is using a blend of machine learning, feedback from users and human reviewers to determine which videos are enabled for each setting. Along with the content settings, parents will be able to view their kids’ watch and search history.
With the help of National PTA, Parent Zone and Be Internet Awesome, YouTube created a guide to help parents determine how to best to supervise their kids on the platform. YouTube will continue to work on YouTube Kids, which is better option for little children than supervised accounts, by expanding the features and tool available to parents.
