  1. Microsoft Family Screen Time - Provide a reminder in game


    Hi,

    The Screen Time functionality is great as it provides a control mechanism for screen time for children. As its a fight to get them off the console sometimes the screen time helps.

    However, when the time is up its a hard stop back to the login with no warning. Is it possible for Microsoft to add a feature where it displays a message such as "10 minutes remaining" to the player? The rage my son is in when screen time kicks him out mid Fortnite game is not something I want to look forward to. A message to remind them in-game would be preferable as he would see it and take note.

    I believe this functionality would help immensely as its an early warning system of impending end of game time.

    Thanks

    :)

    This page here has some steps to follow if
    Screen Time is not working as expected.
    It also has a link to another page for further family feature troubleshooting if that doesn't resolve your issue.

    Do you know how the additional time is being added? Via the Microsoft Account family website? Or via a code on the console itself to authorize the extended time? That might also help provide more pointed troubleshooting for this issue for you.

    ¿Cómo puedo ver el tiempo de uso activo de la consola? -[Translation - How do I view the active console usage time?]

    Hello NUVR,

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. There is a way to manage screen time for the Xbox if the

    child account and parent account are tied to a family. The article entitled
    Set Up Screen Time Limits for Your Child
    will provide steps on how to establish screen time. Be sure to let us know if this helps.

    HOW TO CHANGE XBOX FAMILY ORGANISER TO ALLOW SCREENTIME LIMITS.

    Hi, Paul my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

    To set screen time limits for your Xbox family group, you can use the Xbox Family Settings app on Android and iOS or the Microsoft Family site1. Here are the steps to set screen time limits on the Microsoft Family site:

    Sign in to your Microsoft account on the Microsoft Family site.

    On your family group page, select the member whose account you want to manage, and then select the Screen time tile.

    From this page, you can connect new Xbox, Windows, and Android devices to their account. You can also adjust their daily and weekly screen time schedules.

    Select the device, and then select Turn limits on if this is your first time setting up this device type.

    Use the toggle under Use one schedule on all devices to simplify and manage all devices with the same screen time limits.

    Use the listed time slots to adjust screen time limitations for a day or an entire week. You can adjust the applicable days, time limit, and time range.

    Select Done to save the configurations that you’ve set.

    If you prefer to use the Xbox Family Settings app, you can download it from the Google Play Store or the App Store1. Once you have installed the app, you can follow the instructions provided in the app to set screen time limits.

    Please note that changing the login credentials of your child’s account may result in the loss of their gaming profile progress/levels. It is advisable to create a new account for your child and transfer their progress to the new account1.

    Note: Some of the information, which were gained from this answer, were received in a thread on the Microsoft support , and it seemed a good idea, to share this information with you. Source of information (credits) :

    I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions or need additional clarification.

    Family screen time

    Hi!

    I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to set multiple blocks of allowed screen time for my child.

    For example, I want my child to be allowes to play on his devices up until 10am. Then between 10am and 7pm he isn’t allowed but then 7pm and onwards he’s allowed

    I hope this makes sense and I hope someone can help me

    Thanks!

    Family screen time

    Hello,

    switch the accounts Sign in preferences from the parental account. Switching the child accounts settings so that the account is not set up to Instant sign in and set up with the "Lock it down" option instead. This would
    require him entering the child accounts password in order to sign in and that can only be performed online. Also by turning off the Instant Sign in feature his account would not be able to be signed into while offline without the password as well. That would
    stop the guest account from being able to log in.

    Please Let Me Know If This Helped!

    Stay Safe & Healthy!

    Regards,
