Giving parents even more control over the content their child watches, YouTube has announced new tools and content to make the video experience safer for the young.
In its official blog, YouTube announced new parental control that allows one to handpick every video and channel available to their child in the app. The feature is rolling out on Android for global users. It will be soon rolled out to the iOS version.
To enable this feature, head to settings, go to the child's profile and select 'approved content only'. You can now start choosing videos for the kids to limit their exposure to unwanted content.
In addition to this, YouTube has also announced a new experience for the older kids aged 8-12 years. It includes new content including popular music and gaming videos. Parents can choose this profile for their child when creating or updating their profile.
YouTube has also announced that it is expanding its monetization method of unskippable ads to more creators on its platform. This basically means you will not be seeing the 'skip ad' button more often.
YouTube announced that creators who can already monetize content on YouTube will be soon able to turn on non-skippable ads for all of their videos, The Verge reported. The change is rolling out to eligible creators starting next week. YouTube is also adding a new tool to allow creators bulk add or remove non-skippable ads and track audience engagement after making the change.
Also, YouTube may soon introduce its very own “Explore Tab”-- another example of a giant tech platform putting AI to use, tailoring what we see based on our past clicks. YouTube is at it again, experimenting with a new feature on a small group of its users. The last time it experimented in this manner, it prompted a backlash from the Creator community due to a “lack of communication,” an issue which has since been addressed in a blog post from CEO Susan Wojcicki. So this time around the company has gone about it with a slightly different approach, communicating its plans for a new ‘Explore Tab' through various social media channels.
