Google is now preparing to implement a new rule for YouTube users, after which everyone will not be able to live stream on YouTube. Actually, Google is preparing to implement a new rule to provide better security to children and young users on the platform. Actually, from July 22, the minimum age to host a YouTube live stream will increase from 13 to 16.

Teenagers under the age of 16 will no longer be able to live stream on YouTube

According to a TOI report, under the new rule, teens under the age of 16 will no longer be able to live stream themselves unless the necessary security measures have been implemented. YouTube says the move is designed to increase the safety of children and teens and limit the risks they face when engaging with a large number of online audiences while streaming videos. YouTube’s support page states, “These updates are part of our ongoing effort to protect children and teens on YouTube.”

Google tightens terms

However, younger teens will still be allowed to appear on live streams, but there are certain conditions for this. Such as they must be accompanied by an adult on camera and if this is not the case, YouTube can either close the live chat or remove the stream altogether. For those who want to run their own broadcast, there is also an additional rule, that is, a parent or other adult must be added as a channel manager, start the live stream through YouTube’s Live Control Room and be clearly present throughout.

Preventing children from being exposed to harmful content

The updated policy is part of YouTube’s efforts to protect children. The platform continues to remind its young creators and audiences about privacy best practices, including avoiding sharing personal details on camera and using chat moderation tools to manage conversations.

Machine learning will detect correct age

In February, the company revealed that it had started using machine learning systems to more accurately estimate the correct age of users, in order to prevent children from accessing content that is harmful to them.
