YouTube is implementing new guidelines that will raise the minimum age for livestreaming to 16, impacting creators aged 13 to 15 who currently stream solo. Under the new policy, younger users can still appear in streams but must be accompanied by an adult. The change emphasizes YouTube's commitment to children's online safety. This follows similar actions by platforms like Roblox, which restricted access for users under 13 to certain experiences. The guidelines apply specifically to livestreaming, as no new age restrictions have been announced for posting pre-recorded videos.
As of July 22, new guidelines state that the minimum age required to livestream will be raised to 16, affecting many young creators on the platform.
The policy change aims to prioritize online safety for children, reflecting a growing concern about the challenges young users face in live streaming.
