YouTube increases the minimum age necessary for its users on the air to 16. In a message loaded onIt was confirmed that as of July 22, the creators should be 16 years and older to broadcast without escort on the platform. Earlier, YouTube provided that children under the age of 13 should have been noticeably accompanied by adults if they want to publish live content, but in the future this rule will spread to anyone between anyone at the age of 13-15.
YouTube warns that anyone who is not 16 years old and not older and continues to live by stream without an adult gift, in addition to July 22, risks that their living chat is disconnected, and access to other functions is temporarily recalled. YouTube adds that its possible intention is to delete direct broadcasts, which, as found, violate the rules, and anyone whose account is received with restrictions will be prohibited from direct broadcast using another channel. This may ultimately lead to the termination of the account. The Teamouutube account says The fact that the creators, the rules raised by changes, will be notified by e -mail if their flows are removed.
The creators under the age of 16, who want to continue broadcast on the air, will be able to provide adult access to their channel as an editor, manager or owner, which allows them to launch a stream from the account related to their channel. Previously, this was supposed to be made from the living management room of YouTube. YouTube said that adults, together with someone younger than 16 years, should be “noticeably present” and obviously as many part of a living stream.
We turned to YouTube to obtain more information, since the post does not offer an explanation of why he decided to make these changes now. But this, no doubt, will be a blow to young creators with a large existing audience.
