    Screen Time Recording WRONG times


    We have been having this issue for weeks now and nothing is being done about it. Please help me fix it!

    In some cases the amount of time listed for how much my son has spent on his devices is WAY off. I mean huge.

    Today I woke up and checked the activity tab and looked at his screen time usage for the week. They are all WRONG.

    Example: Yesterday, my son spent 2 hours on his xbox after dinner. My husband and I were sitting right next to him in the family room the WHOLE TIME. But it only recorded 33 minutes. And again this morning it has recorded 4 hrs 12 minutes. Nope. My son is
    still sound asleep in his bed. No one has even touched the xbox since last night. So unless some disembodied spirit has been using my son's account to play xbox, there is a real problem going on.

    This seems like a common problem as I scour the internet, however, no answers have proved to work for me.

    Anyone have some actual solutions?

    :)

    Screen Time Reporting Records

    Hi Andrea,

    Thank you for coming to the forums today!

    Unfortunately, there isn't a way to see activity reports past what it will allow you to see on the Activity report website.

    What email service do you use? Have you checked your deleted emails folder or the trash section and see if you have any of the emails archived in there? Or have they been permanently deleted?

    I know most email services have an option to archive emails and save them for later so that may be a good option to try going forward to save all of the weekly emails.

    Record two screens at same time?

    You're right, I ended up putting too little information.

    I'm on a PC, what I want to do is to open two games at same time, one next to the other and record both at the same time (with the same monitor), like 50% of the screen there is one game, and other 50%
    another game.

    It's like you said, its like make a video on how to do something and I need two windows open.

    When I try this, it ends up recording only one of the games, centralizing it and leaving the rest of the screen black.

    My doubt is if there is a way to record both at the same time,
    or a way to recording something that is not related to a screen, such as the Desktop, would already help a lot.

    Anyway, thanks for answer.

    Record two screens at same time?

    Hello, Firstly some more information would be helpful, such as are you on PC or Xbox and what you mean by two game windows, are you playing with a friend, making a video on how to do something, and need two game windows.

    One thing that i can suggest would be to do a co-stream on mixer, you will need to ensure that you have your mixer settings set to keep a copy of VOD's so you can download it later on, that should give you a split screen view of both game windows. Although
    I'm not sure if you can do two mixer streams on the same device.

    Hopefully at least something there will help you, and more information is always useful, as it will help myself and others to get a much better idea of what you are doing, and trying to accomplish.

    Record two screens at same time?

    You could do a search for screen capture programs, just make sure the one you decide on will work on your computer. I'm no expert in this area, so but a few things to keep in mind, will this particular screen capture program work on your computer, will do
    what you want to, and finally cost, are you willing to pay for one of these programs.

    Hopefully this will be helpful.

    I imagine certain games will also have the ability to record for longer like the theatre mode in Halo for example
