Parental controls are now available that allow guardians to link Twitch accounts with their 13- to 17-year-old children, providing account management features and a weekly email summarizing their teen\u2019s activity, including channels and hours watched.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The controls can be used to prevent teens from livestreaming their own content and disabling Whispers, Twitch\u2019s private messaging feature. This includes blocking minors from sending or receiving DMs. Parents can also set flexible daily time limits for Twitch across all their teen\u2019s devices and restrict content that carries certain <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitch.tv\/s\/article\/content-classification-labels?language=en_US\">classification labels<\/a> \u2014 such as Gambling, Mature-Rated Game, Sexual Themes, and more \u2014 from appearing in searches or recommended feeds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The parental controls dashboard can be found in the Account Settings under the Family Center page. When a Twitch user managed by parental controls turns 18, their account will be automatically unlinked from their parents. Twitch says that it will explore adding additional parental control features in the future, noting that the setting is optional \u201cat this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/968480\/twitch-parental-controls-block-streaming-live-dms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitch is giving parents more control over how their children are using the streaming platform, including the ability to block them from broadcasting entirely.
