Set up a teen supervised experience

To set up a teen supervised experience, parents and teens can link their accounts in Family Centre. Supervision can be removed at any point by a parent or a teen.
Note: These features are designed for teens, but can be set up for other family members if needed. It's up to each family to decide if and how they want to use supervision on YouTube.
