Uber Adds Live Video Monitoring to Teen Accounts

Uber is rolling out a live video streaming feature specifically for its teen accounts, giving parents and guardians a real-time window into their child’s ride. The company says the video feed is only available while the trip is in progress and is permanently deleted once the ride ends, so no recording lingers on the platform.

The move comes as the ride-hailing giant continues to court younger riders and their families, who often want more visibility into who is driving and what happens during the journey. By tying video access strictly to the teen account, Uber is positioning the feature as a safety layer rather than a general in-car camera system.

Privacy advocates will likely watch closely to see how the streaming is implemented and whether drivers are given clear notice before they accept a teen trip. Uber has not shared additional details beyond confirming that access is cut off at the end of the ride.
