They team up, talk strategy, celebrate wins, and chat while playing. Over time, voice chat has become a natural part of how they connect with others online, often with people they\u2019ve never met before.<\/span><\/p>\n

As parents, it isn\u2019t always easy to know what those conversations sound like or when something might cross a line. That\u2019s why Gaming alerts helps bring more awareness to this part of your child\u2019s digital life.<\/span>

Introducing Gaming alerts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Gaming alerts is designed to help you stay connected to what\u2019s happening during your child\u2019s online play by offering timely insights into voice conversations.<\/span><\/p>\n

At launch, Gaming alerts will support some of the most popular games and platforms kids use today, including, Steam, <\/span>Roblox<\/span><\/a>, Valorant, and Fortnite. The first release will be available on Windows, with plans to expand over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

By making the social side of gaming easier to understand, the feature helps you stay informed as your child plays and interacts online.<\/span>

How Gaming alerts works<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]When your child is playing a multiplayer game with voice chat enabled, <\/span>Qustodio uses AI to detect specific words, topics, and conversational patterns that may signal a concerning interaction.<\/b> If something stands out, you receive a voice alert notification in the app.<\/span><\/p>\n

From there, each alert gives you a short summary of what was detected and an explanation of why it raised a concern. This way, you have the context you need to decide how to respond in a way that works for your family.<\/span>
\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Things Gaming alerts can flag<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]For example, Gaming alerts can pick up moments where early awareness can make a real difference. This includes aggressive or bullying language, inappropriate or adult conversations, personal questions that cross boundaries, and threats or intimidating behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n

By highlighting these situations, the feature helps you better understand the social dynamics your child may encounter while gaming.<\/span>
\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Helping families stay in sync<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Gaming alerts help <\/span>share the experience of online gaming<\/span><\/a>, making conversations between you and your kids feel more natural and timely.
