If you can't see the option to set up a teen supervised experience yet, check back soon. This feature will be released to more eligible parents and teens throughout September 2024.
In Family Centre, you can view your supervised teen's YouTube channel activity. You can also manage email notifications. Email notifications are turned on automatically so that you can get updates on your teen's activities and interests, but you can turn them off at any time.
You can view their channel activity to see:
- The channels that your teen owns and the names of the channels that your teen can upload videos to. Parents can view info for these channels such as profile picture, channel banner, handle, bio and number of subscribers.
- How many public, private and unlisted videos your teen has uploaded to their channels.
- How many live streams your teen has hosted on their channels.
- How many comments your teen has posted on other videos.
- How many channels your teen subscribes to.
Note: Teens can also use Family Centre. In Family Centre, teens can see their linked parent, turn notifications on or off, and turn supervision on or off.
