Discord introduced the Family Center opt-in tool as part of its action to put parental controls to protect the app's young audience.
The Family Center opt-in tool is designed to for parents and guardians to track and have information on who their teens are interactive to on the platform.
Last May, the company was reportedly starting and testing the scope of the possible parental control feature.
Discord Family Center Feature Components
According to Discord, the Family Center has two major components.
First is the activity dashboard which can be accessed on the app anytime. Second is the weekly email summary that includes the teen's activity.
Discord assured that the content of conversations will not be visible via the Family Center to protect one's privacy.

How to Activate Family Center Feature
Both parents and the teen needs to complete the app setup. Family Center will not be enabled if the teen account did not give a consent.
A QR Code will be generated from the teen accounts which will be used by the parent to activate the feature.
"Once your teen has accepted your connection request, the Family Center will populate with details about their activity on Discord within the last seven days," the company wrote.
The weekly summary report will include the number of users the teen messaged or called, number of friends added, and how many servers they are in.
