The YouTube video sharing platform launched the YouTube Kids feature in hopes of providing a more controlled environment for children. Thus, children can more freely explore YouTube videos and parents can more easily monitor them.

However, YouTube Kids has its own drawbacks. For teenagers, YouTube Kids is considered too restrictive to access more YouTube content. Hence, YouTube is also introducing new features for parents.

This brand-new YouTube feature is named Under Supervisory Account. This feature is intended for teenagers and children aged 10-14 years.

"We hear from many parents and children that tweens (teenagers aged 10-14 years) and teens (aged 14-19 years) have different needs, which our products have not fully presented", explained the Director of Product Management Kids and Family. YouTube, James Beser, via official blog, Wednesday, February 24.

Therefore, YouTube is also working with parents and experts to develop the concept of Supervisory Accounts. The Supervisory Account feature offers three levels of content settings: Browse, Explore More, and More YouTube Content.
