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.

No, I'm already familiar with how to set screentime limits across devices, but I want to set specific schedules where certain apps are blocked during school time (i.e. Roblox), and that school time does not decrement from playtime limits and that Roblox (and others) then becomes available during playtime.

Sorry to hear it. If your son has figured out a way to bypass the screen time on the console then I would suggest going into your modem/router settings and limit the internet time on the console. There is a way to set the internet so that your devices
could stop receiving the signal at a specific time.

Hello Michael C, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

Unfortunately, Xbox doesn't have a built-in feature that allows you to set a universal time limit for multiple games at once. Parental control settings on Xbox typically allow you to set individual time limits for each game or app.

However, you may be able to achieve a similar result using external tools or features available on your Xbox. Here are a couple of options you can explore:

Family Settings: Xbox offers Family Settings, which allows you to manage and personalize the gaming experience for family members. Within Family Settings, you can set time limits for each individual account or for specific games. While it doesn't provide a universal time limit for all games, it does give you more control over managing individual accounts.

Third-party parental control apps: There are third-party parental control apps available that can provide greater control over play time limits. These apps typically offer features like scheduling, time tracking, and even the ability to set universal time limits for various games. You can search for these apps in the Xbox Store or explore the options available for your specific device.

It's worth noting that Xbox regularly updates its features and settings, so there may be changes or new options available soon.

Best regards.

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
