Family and school play a key role in the holistic development of young people, with the use of technologies being one of the issues where the role of both agents is most needed today. Video games have traditionally been part of the private sphere; although they have been integrated into the educational context in an emerging way in the recent times. In this perspective, this work seeks to identify, through a bibliographic and normative review, the responsibilities of the family and school in relation to the use of video games. It also analyses the attribution of responsibilities that 367 future teachers of early childhood, primary and secondary education perform to both contexts around this issue. The results show that future teachers consider the young people's training around the video games' use is a greater responsibility of the family, although with some differences based on variables such as sex, age or previous teaching experience. This data helps us emphasize the need to integrate videogames more explicitly and to establish co-responsibility mechanisms between the family and the school in their formative approach.
