Implement Parental Control Settings

FortifiedFocus · Nov 23, 2019

Good Morning. I have an idea as a parent I would like to see added to Xbox consoles. I'm not sure who to contact with this particular idea. So I'm hoping someone can get me in touch with Xbox Designers.

I"m sure I'm not the only parent with this issue. I have a child that is constantly falling asleep watching YouTube videos on school nights. Or tries anything and everything on any day staying up all night long gaming.

Instead of having to take away the entire console every time, I'd like to see Xbox add upgraded parental settings to Xbox consoles.

Where in settings parents can set days and times when Xbox consoles will automatically shut off and won't be able to turn on at a certain time. And that settings control can be password locked.

Hi there,

I personally have not tried this option, but I found this and might be helpful, give it a go and let us know if that works:

Set up screen time limits for your child

Happy gaming!

Most routers these days also have a similar feature where specific devices can be allocated "internet time'

I use the parental controls at the moment, and you can set it up so that there gamertag can only use the console between certain hours.

Just make sure if you do this, they cant log in as a "guest" account and keep on watching.

the admin account is the one that controls parental controls, therefore it cannot have parental controls implemented on that account, place a pin on that accounts so they cannot use it then make them us theirs

I believe this is to prevent signing into another account to bypass any restrictions.

A possible future implementation could be to just require the parental control code to access content that is normal restricted. But currently a global impact is the only way parental controls will work.
