In Family Center, you can view your supervised teen’s YouTube channel activity. You can also manage email notifications. Email notifications are automatically turned on so 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 their teen owns and the names of the channels their 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 their teen has uploaded to their channels.
- How many live streams their teen has hosted on their channels.
- How many comments their teen has posted on other videos.
- How many channels their teen subscribes to.
Note: Teens can also use Family Center. In Family Center, teens can see their linked parent, turn notifications on or off, and turn supervision on or off.
