MCHP Age requirements
- 5 months ago
Hi dev01,
Great question. The age requirement for payouts and publishing in the Meta Horizon Creator Program is there because Meta has to comply with privacy and payment laws for minors (these are pretty strict in the US and other regions).
That said:
You can still create, build, and learn in Horizon Worlds while underage—you just won’t be able to withdraw earnings or publish worlds with commerce features until you meet the age requirement.
Lots of creators have voiced interest in “junior” programs! I recommend posting your suggestion in the Feedback Hub (https://developers.meta.com/horizon/feedback/) so Meta’s team sees how important this is.
In the meantime, keep experimenting and bringing your ideas! Being part of the community helps shape the future of the platform.
If you have technical questions, ideas, or want to connect with other youth creators, feel free to ask here any time.
