    Is there a way to add screen time to a specific game or app?


    Hi, my child since the start of the summer holidays decided that he would stay awake till 2am every night playing Fortnight. I want to block that game but leave everything else unblocked since watch's Youtube videos to go to sleep. Currently if I use screen
    time its blocking everything, surely there has to be away to block specific games. If there is then can someone tell me how. If not, why not?

    If parents are to have more control over their activity then surely I should be able to decide what time my child should be stopping a specific action.

    its all good receiving a weekly activity email, telling me exactly how log my child has played or used a certain app, why not give the option of setting a daily limit of say 5 hours usage, once they use up that then they cant use that app/game till the refresh
    the next day. I could get my kid to do chores with that open, "clean your room and I'll credit you 1 hour game time", once done log into my parent account and click a button to credit their account, happy days...

    :)

    There is no way to transfer anything from one account to another. It's simply not possible.

    Is there a way to...

    Isn't there a way to put separate passwords on accounts so people can't sign into them on a shared console? I thought there was before but I can't remember where the settings are at on the console.

    To clear things up some if there is some confusion with my question, I am not asking for a way to change the password on my XBL account. I am asking if there was like a short 4-letter/number password you can put individually on each account to prevent them
    from being signed into.

    Is there a way to add screen time to a specific game or app?

    Hi, screen time is set for all or nothing. There is no setting for each individual game or app. If you want something like this, then create a post on the feedback site here

    Is there a way to set time limits for specific apps?

    Hello, Loondogiv. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    - Visit https://family.microsoft.com. Sign into your Family Safety account.

    - Find your family member’s name and click More options > Screen time.

    - Select Apps and games tab. Turn on App and game limits toggle.

    - Click the app or game you want to set limits on.

    - Set the amount of time your family member can spend on the app or game each day and when they’re allowed to use it. Use the same limits every day or tailor a schedule for each day of the week.

    For more information, please refer to:

    Feel free to ask back any questions.

    Update Family Status for Online Safety

    Best solution create an account for your son - this way you can add all sort of restrictions (including the rating of games and apps, and how much screen time he has per day)

    Is There A Way To Access Your Download History On The Xbox One?

    For full games you would scroll all the way to the right on the games and apps screen and the games would be listed as ready to install. For add-ons, find the game in your games and apps section, press the menu button and go to Manage game. The add-ons should
    be listed there.
