Twitch will let parents stop their teens going live

Twitch is introducing parental controls that allow guardians to manage their 13- to 17-year-old children's accounts, including blocking them from broadcasting live. Parents can link their child's Twitch account to their own, enabling features such as weekly email summaries of their teen's activity, including watched channels and hours spent on the platform. The controls also permit parents to disable Whispers, Twitch's private messaging feature, and prevent minors from sending or receiving direct messages. These measures aim to provide parents with more oversight and control over their children's online activities on the streaming platform.
