Twitch will let parents stop their teens going live

Twitch 将允许家长禁止青少年进行直播

Twitch is giving parents more control over how their children are using the streaming platform, including the ability to block them from broadcasting entirely. Parental controls are now available that allow guardians to link Twitch accounts with their 13- to 17-year-old children, providing account management features and a weekly email summarizing their teen’s activity, including channels and hours watched.

Twitch 正在赋予家长更多控制权，以管理其子女对该流媒体平台的使用，其中包括完全禁止他们进行直播的功能。目前，家长控制功能已经上线，允许监护人将其 Twitch 账户与 13 至 17 岁子女的账户进行关联。该功能提供账户管理特性，并会发送每周电子邮件，总结青少年的活动情况，包括观看的频道和时长。

The controls can be used to prevent teens from livestreaming their own content and disabling Whispers, Twitch’s private messaging feature. This includes blocking minors from sending or receiving DMs. Parents can also set flexible daily time limits for Twitch across all their teen’s devices and restrict content that carries certain classification labels — such as Gambling, Mature-Rated Game, Sexual Themes, and more — from appearing in searches or recommended feeds.

这些控制功能可用于阻止青少年直播自己的内容，并禁用 Twitch 的私信功能“Whispers”。这包括禁止未成年人发送或接收私信。家长还可以为青少年在所有设备上的 Twitch 使用设置灵活的每日时间限制，并限制带有特定分类标签的内容（如赌博、成人游戏、性主题等）出现在搜索结果或推荐信息流中。

The parental controls dashboard can be found in the Account Settings under the Family Center page. When a Twitch user managed by parental controls turns 18, their account will be automatically unlinked from their parents. Twitch says that it will explore adding additional parental control features in the future, noting that the setting is optional “at this time.”

家长控制仪表板位于“账户设置”下的“家庭中心”页面中。当受家长控制管理的 Twitch 用户年满 18 岁时，其账户将自动与家长账户解除关联。Twitch 表示，未来将探索增加更多的家长控制功能，并指出目前该设置是可选的。
