There is going to be a big change in YouTube rules, Google has decided to tighten the rules of live streaming on YouTube. After the new rules come into force, not everyone will be able to livestream, Google has taken this step intending to give better security to children. Till now the minimum age for live streaming was 13 years, which has now been increased to 16 years and this new rule will come into effect from July 22 next month.

The new rules mean that children under the age of 16 will no longer be able to livestream. Regarding the new rules, YouTube said that this step has been taken to increase the safety of minors and limit the risk faced by children when connecting with online audiences. It is written on YouTube's support page that this update is part of our ongoing work due to the safety of teenagers and children.

After the new rules, this is how you will get relaxation.

Even after the implementation of the new rules, teenagers under the age of 16 will be allowed to appear in livestreams, but only under strict conditions and the condition is that they will be able to livestream with an adult on camera. If this does not happen, YouTube will shut down the live chat or remove the streaming completely.

This new policy of Google regarding YouTube can create problems for those who want to livestream without their parents. Now after the new rules, you will have to add a parent or an adult as a channel manager. This big change in YouTube's policy is based on the measures being taken for child protection. Although the new restrictions may disappoint some ambitious youth, YouTube says that the safety of minors is the company's top priority.
