Supervised experiences for teens

While this experience is designed for parents and teenagers (ages 13–17 in most countries and regions), families can also link non-teen accounts in Family Center. It’s up to each family to decide if and how they want to use supervision on YouTube.

If you want to link accounts with someone older than a teen, you can follow the same set-up steps.

You can also set up a supervised experience for children under 13 (or the relevant age in their country or region).

Every family’s relationship with media and technology is different, so we offer options for you to decide what’s best for yours. These experiences are each designed for different age ranges and needs:

• YouTube Kids: A separate app with content for kids under 13.
• Supervised experiences for pre-teens: An experience parents can set up for kids under 13 (or the relevant age in their country or region) who are ready to use YouTube. Parents can manage their content settings, controls, and more.
• Supervised experiences for teens: A voluntary experience for teens over the age of 13 (or the relevant age in their country or region) that gives parents insight into their teens’ activities and interests on YouTube.
