    How to restrict creation of guest account


    Hello,

    I would like to set up restrictions on creating guest accounts on the Xbox one account/console.

    I have noticed that kids can get around Microsoft family safety/time restrictions on their screen time by creating guest accounts. What is the purpose of Microsoft Family time restrictions if there are so many ways to get around it, and most kids have already
    figured out how to do this!

    Even if a pin is created, once a child has access to his acount, he can create guest accounts and let a friend/sibling game with him. What is the purpose of these guest accounts and why cant parents restrict the creating of these accounts?

    This is unacceptable and not family friendly at all!

    Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

    :)

    Setting up accounts for family members

    Unfortunately each account needs to be signed in; however you can always let him play on a guest account instead. You can set parental controls on a guest account as well; we actually have a guide for it here: Guest Restrictions

    How to change content restrictions on guest accounts

    When guests want to play games or watch movies on your Xbox One, and they don’t have an existing Xbox Live account, you can sign them in with a guest account. The sign-in process includes setting content restrictions for each guest account. Content restrictions allow you to control what games, apps, and movies your guests can access on your console when no family members are signed in.

    How to Edit the Settings:

    1. Sign in to your personal account.
    2. Nest, using your controller, press the Menu button.
    3. Go to Settings.

    Hi there and thanks for the response.

    The issue is not restricting access to games, I know how to do that. Instead there are currently games they can access without signing in to their account, they are effectively playing as a guest. Hence, I cannot restrict them as the ability to restrict is linked to their user name.

    Problems accessing guest (1)

    If there is only one person signed in to the console, the guest account has the same privacy settings as that host.

    If there are multiple household members signed in, the guest account has the same privacy and online safety settings as the family member with the most restrictive settings. For example, if a child is signed in, the guest is restricted by the child's settings.

    As soon as either the host or the guest signs out, the guest account is removed from the console. If your guest anticipates playing on this console in the future, we recommend that they create a Microsoft account and gamertag on the console.
