TWITCH
MINIMUM AGE: 13
WHAT IS IT?
The most popular live video game website. You can watch playbacks of games being played by other people.
You can also live stream your own games, and chat to other gamers.
WHAT WE SAY:
Safe, but discuss safety tips with children.
Young people using Twitch may be exposed to language or behaviour that parents may deem inappropriate
Many of the games watched have violent content, and anything live is always risky
SAFETY TIPS TO CONSIDER:
There are lots of adverts
People sometimes use bad language in their videos - ask children to tell you if anything goes wrong
It’s hard to censor because it’s live
