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.
SAFETY TIPS TO CONSIDER:
There are lots of adverts
People sometimes use bad language in their videos
It’s hard to censor because it’s live
WHAT WE SAY:
Safe, but discuss safety tips with children.
So popular, but there are a few issues - young people using Twitch may still 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.
