Set up pre-teen supervised accounts

Parents who decide their child under 13 (or the relevant age in their country/region) is ready to explore YouTube can set up a supervised account. Supervised accounts are linked to a parent's own Google Account.

When a parent sets up a supervised account, they select a content setting that limits the videos and music their pre-teen can play. Learn more about pre-teen supervised accounts.
