    Screen time restriction

    Hey there PRIM4LINST1NCT! Thanks for reaching out to us. When you get a chance, the steps

    here
    should have some helpful information on how to set a specific screen time setting on your child's account.

    Do you happen to notice any issues when going through those steps?

    Want to make sure that you're taken care of!

    Why does screen time not work on FIFA

    I have already setup the guest account with a key and set the access to content. FIFA does not seem to ask for even a guest account. when you log in when the screen time is expired it just says that your progress will not be saved. My kids don't mind as
    long as they can play matches.
    Then I’m not sure what you can do. Seems like an oversight, but hopefully they’ll fix it.

    Why does screen time not work on FIFA

    Brandiesel I owe you and Microsoft an apology. I have just worked out how to stop them using the xbox when the time runs out. You are correct the guest account passkey must be setup but also set the access content setting to the very lowest setting of "restricted"
    right at the bottom of the list. Any other option still allows them to play games and use the xbox. I thought there must have been a way.
