Twitch adds parental controls with streaming, messaging, and content filters for teen accounts

Twitch now lets guardians link accounts with teens aged 13–17. Parents can block livestreaming, disable Whispers and DMs, filter content tagged Gambling, Mature-Rated Game, or Sexual Themes, and set cross-device daily time limits. A weekly email summarizes channels watched and hours logged. Controls auto-unlink at age 18.
