    Can underage players be blocked from each other permanently?


    I'm a vice principal of a small school for students with behavioral needs. Recently a group of students has begun playing games online together and are using the chat and ability to talk to each other in maladaptive ways (bullying, inappropriate conversations etc, threats to fight at school). Is there a way to block users from each other permanently? Can this be done through the console rather than the game?

    :)

    Can underage players be blocked from each other permanently?

    Hi there VP2370.

    I am Lumie and I love to assist you today.

    I am so sorry to hear about your students.

    Most online games have built-in features that allow users to block or mute other players. This prevents any form of interaction, including chat and voice communication. It's important to familiarize yourself with these features and guide the students on how to use them.

    There are several third-party parental control software options available that can help monitor and control online interactions. Software such as Net Nanny, Norton Family, and Qustodio allows for blocking specific contacts and monitoring communication.

    If the students are playing on consoles like Xbox or PlayStation, these systems have their own set of parental controls. These controls can be configured to block or restrict communication with specific users. Here’s how it can be done:

    PlayStation:

    Account Settings: Navigate to the Family Management settings. Here, you can manage the communication settings for child accounts.
    Blocking Users: Go to the “Friends” section, select the user to block, and choose “Block.”

    Xbox:

    Account Settings: Use the Xbox Family Settings app or the console’s Family Settings to control who can communicate with whom.
    Blocking Users: Go to the user’s profile, select “More,” and choose “Block.”

    I hope this helps!

    Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. -Lumie

    How does everyone fell about encounters with minors on age restricted games, and how should it be dealt with as an xbox ambassador ?

    Blocking the account is one course of action. If you know they are under age to block them in the first place, you know they are underage and shouldn't be exchanging info with them anyway.

    I am an adult gamer and I only block the most offensive and vulgar accounts. I also have two daughters who game, and frequently play with me. I've taught them never to exchange information online, and as an adult I know not to ask it of other players.

    As an Ambassador we have a responsibility to promote awareness and foster safety in gaming. I try to pay attention to chat, and have intervened more than once when voice chat goes where it shouldn't. If you simply respect other players and acr appropriately
    dealing with underage gamers is never an issue for you.

    Yes as stated you need your parents to make some adjustments in the family account they manage so you can add each other. Since you're underage this is required

    Hi there Rex

    It is recommended if you come across a toxic player, it be better to block and report the user. But throwing insults to and from each others won't help the case in any form.
