Game Activity

This is really great to know, thank you. As a student, using a limited data plan on my phone unless I'm where I can access WiFi, I have maybe 15 games going right now and it's really not all that hard to pop in and take my turn at least once a day, if not
more.

I'd have less games going if they were more active. As it is, I'm getting ready to add another 10 in the hopes of having a turn to play when I pop in to check (Toast notifications don't work for me. They stopped working in another game too, so I don't know
if it's both, my settings, or I turned them off in the other game because I'd forget to 0 volume and be woken by a game notification).

I even tried inviting players off the various ranking boards assuming they'd be a bit more active. I guess I'll just wait and see... would be a shame to have to be grateful for that option instead of following through to the end of the game.

You can force the game to end- giving you a walkover win- if they haven't played in over 7 days.

Open App, Select My Games, Pivot to their turns. Select the game. You should receive a pop-up forcing the game over, and giving you a walkover win.

Outside of just Windows 10, you can change and configure your
Xbox Online Saftey and Privacy settings for what you're comfortable with. This will change who can see what you're doing online from what you're playing to what you share and who can search and see your account. That's the best source to limit visibility
into your actions in a more permanent fashion where you might still want your friends to see that you're online and available to play.
