How to monitor screen time for Family organiser?

StanYR · Dec 26, 2022

Hello,

I have set up a family but main account my son plays with on Xbox is mine, i.e. family organiser's. Sometimes, when he plays with someone, i.e. two players, using his Xbox account as a second player, I get the full screen time report of how long and what games second account played. But I can't monitor screen type of organiser's account.

Any idea how to monitor it?

Thanks!

:)

Hello StanYR,

Welcome to the Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well. Let me see how I can assist you with this concern.

Organizers can set screen time limits for members in their family group who have access to Xbox consoles and Windows 10 devices. Follow these steps to start managing your family group’s screen time limits:

In the Xbox Family Settings app, select the member’s tile. Select the Screen time tile, and then view the time limits that may appear by default or that you’ve already set under Schedule. After selecting the schedule that you want to change, choose through the range of days, time limits, and time ranges to set up the perfect screen time limit for you family group.

For more info on screen time limits and managing your family group’s access to Xbox features, select Learn more.

Customize family settings for every member of your household, such as screen time limits, age-based content filters, social communication settings, and multiplayer settings.

Hi Val, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry but we can't limit the time of the Family Organizer, since it's the Parent account.

In this situation, you would need to create a new child account for your son.

Hi, Liam! I'm Kim, an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

Just to confirm, are you perhaps trying to set your own screen time? Screen time limits can only be set on devices connected to your family group. Kindly check the link below for more information:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil....

Hi, Liam! Thanks for your reply. I am afraid only child accounts have these features since your account is already set as the organizer/parent. All organisers in a family group have the authority to manage member accounts, such as setting content limits, approving time extension requests, and adding new members to the group. Adult members over legal age have the following safety features disabled by default. You can also check this link for more information: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil....
