  1. Why does the family app no longer block screentime?


    For some reason the xbox (we all use xboxones here) family app is no longer blocking or applying screen time changes, this is troublesome as i found out my son played all day despite being blocked and missed all his video school appointments. Please help
    resolve this as there was a reasonable expectation he would have been blocked, is the app not working after the update?

    :)

    Hi, you probably turned that of in Family Settings somewhere. With family settings you can block things like this and set a max screentime.
    If this isn't the case make sure the account does have Xbox live Gold

    Screen time limitations and school

    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.

    I can't block Fortnight using family screentime settings. Why?

    Your daughters a ****, she gave me head last night, suck a large one.

    Screen time limitations and school

    Thank you for pointing me to Google for an answer I already have. I already use Family Group and have set screentime limits, but the basis of my inquiry is to find a way to limit non-school activities during school time but not allow school time to decrement from screentime allotments for play time.

    Hi there,

    Have you created a Guest Passkey on the console yet?

    Info on how it works and setting it up can be found
    here
    .

    Be sure to uncheck the box that says "Let people download & make new accounts". Then the guest key will need to be entered before anyone can add/create a new account on the console.
