  1. Can I apply screen time limits to gaming time but not to chat time?


    We have family settings to give my son limits on how late he can play and how many hours per day he can play. The problem is that during the pandemic the xbox is also his primary means of communication with his friends.
    What I would like is for his daily screen time limit to apply to his gaming time but not to his restrict his chat time. Is there any way to do that?

    :)

    screen time limits

    Yes, we’re having the same problem! The parental controls appear to be a great feature, but only if they actually work. If microsoft can’t fix them it’ll be back to having an argument every time we want our son to quit Fortnite (sigh).

    screen time limits

    activity doesn't show up that they have been on it at all even when they are blocked , whether that be by more than the time limit or by the fact its blocked .

    If there is another account on there it is mine but they need my password to access that ,

    If thney have two gamer tags which did occur to me that might be the case how to I associate that with his other gamertag

    Screen time limits

    I like this idea, similar to how the iPhone regulates screen time. Would be great for kid’s accounts

    Unfortunately xbox hasn't developed a timer yet!

    screen time limits

    Thanks i will try that …..

    Sorry to be somewhat sceptical but in my opinion there is no such thing as happy gaming it does nothing but bring the worst out in children and I loathe it completely it is the cause of most of the arguments in this house and kids are unable to regulate
    their exposure to it willingly , it robs them completely of any imagination or desire to do anything else . it is an ongoing issue and the fact that the limits controls Microsoft have set up screw up all the time is a huge cause of irritation .
