JAKARTA - YouTube provides an improvement for parents who want to control their child's activities. Through this new feature, parents can limit their child's duration in watching Shorts or short videos.
This step was taken to give parents more control. With this new feature, parents can choose to block access to YouTube Shorts completely or set a certain time limit.
If you just want to limit the time, there are several durations to choose from, ranging from 15, 30, to 45 minutes. There is also an option to extend up to two hours. According to YouTube, this feature will be very useful for maintaining children's focus during learning.
In addition to duration restrictions, YouTube also introduced a sleep and rest time reminder feature that is automatically activated. Parents have the freedom to adjust the reminder schedule according to the child's daily routine at home.
The login page also gets a redesign to simplify the process of switching between the parent's personal account and the child's profile. Users now only need to tap a few times to log in to the more child-friendly version.
YouTube said it is partnering with health and psychology organizations to develop high-quality content guidelines specifically for teenagers. This is done so that young audiences are not only entertained, but also get educational content.
"This principle affects our recommendation system to raise the ranking of high-quality videos and increase their viewing frequency to teenagers," YouTube said in its official announcement, launching from PC Mag on Thursday, January 15.
