YouTube gives parents more control over teen accounts

YouTube is giving parents more control over their teens' accounts by allowing them to set time limits for viewing short-form videos.

The time limits range from zero minutes to two hours. Parents will also be able to set custom bedtime and "take a break" reminders.

Additionally, YouTube says it will make it easier to switch between teen and adult accounts for those who share a phone with their child.
