chat settings for friends only

Steven P.Mai · Jan 25, 2025

Within family settings, are you able to disable chat for gamers not in your friends list? I would like the ability to have my child only chat(voice/text) with friends only across all games, is that possible?

You can set it on the account privacy settings.

Please, enter this site: https://account.xbox.com/settings

On the Privacy Tab options, under "Others can":

"Other can communicate with voice, text, o invites" > Set it to Friends

Click Submit.

I hope this helps.

As for unwanted chat or contact:

You can set the online and privacy settings of your child's account to "Friends Only" or to "Block", so the kid can still play on the console, but will only be able to chat with known friends that are in his friend list and no one else, or he can't chat
at all, if that helps.

I play SQDM with mic, but in party chat only with my buddy

(actually not "party chat", but there is a setting in Xbox for chatting with friends only)

Yes set your chat to friends only and file a report

the only way to stop this is to change your settings so only friends can chat or messege you
