YouTube Shorts Feed Time limit feature has been introduced so parents can control the viewing time of their children.

YouTube Shorts Feed Time Limit feature has been introduced by the video streaming platform alongside other features that "will help parents tailor their family's YouTube experience, especially for teen viewers." Here's everything YouTube has announced for parental controls.

With YouTube Shorts Feed time limit, parents can now help teens be even more intentional about how they watch, with a control to set the amount of time spent scrolling Shorts. And soon, parents will see the option to set the timer to zero. "This is an industry-first feature that puts parents firmly in control of the amount of short-form content their kids watch," said YouTube in a blog post.

Explaining how parents can use the feature, YouTube said that a parent can set the Shorts feed limit to zero when they want their teen to use YouTube to focus on homework, and change it to 60 minutes during a long car trip to be entertained.

Additionally, parents of supervised accounts will be able to set custom Bedtime and Take a Break reminders, building on the existing default-on wellbeing protections for teens.

Next, YouTube is introducing new principles and a creator guide to steer teens toward content that is fun, age-appropriate, higher-quality, and more enriching. Developed in partnership with YouTube's own Youth Advisory Committee and the Center for Scholars & Storytellers at UCLA and supported by global experts from the American Psychological Association, Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital, and other global organizations, these principles outline the types of content that are deemed to be low quality and high quality for teen audiences.
