xbox one can't allow exception to restrictions

CanineYapper663 · Mar 17, 2017

My sons account has restrictions. I want to allow one M rated game. His account is connected to mine on the xbox via a family. When I open the game I am prompted for the passkey, but it does not ask me to "Choose who will give permission." It just goes
into the game after entering the passkey.

I followed these directions and it did not work.

Grant exception to content restriction not working on Xbox One

Hi all.

According to this post:

Grant an Exception to Your Child’s Content Limits on Xbox One

I should be able to 'always' grant an exception to a content restriction (I want to allow my 11 year old son to play Skate 3 without needing to enter my passkey every time) but I don't get the 'once' or 'always' options, just OK and cancel.

Adding a game exception for an Indie game

Have family acct. My son can't get the indie games to have an exception with the family restrictions on. Why are the security setting so cludgey?

Hey there!

We tested out that guide here on a child/parent account and we were able to successfully run through all the steps as indicated. Can you double check on your
Microsoft Family that your son's account is listed as a child and not an adult? You will want to sign into that link using your adult/admin account that has your son's account attached to
it.

If you see it listed as a child account, can you post back and provide us with your son's Gamertag so we can do a bit of digging on our end?

Keep us posted either way!

Hi there,

you should be able to set what games the child account is allowed to access via

https://account.microsoft.com/family/

or via the Xbox One console via the content restrictions.

It's also possible to specify exceptions to the set Age restriction.

No, you can't. And use of a VPN to bypass region restrictions is not allowed.

Xbox does not give you that feature. It only allows your voice while live streaming. How come PlayStation has no restrictions? But the Xbox community has all the restrictions. It's all one sided PlayStation and PC should have to have that same feature with no audio allowed in name. Because Xbox community gets all vet restricted. Besides your own voice PlayStation, you get all the game. Voice chats all your teammates chats with 0 restrictions while livestream. Explain to me how that's fair and explain to me. How come Xbox owns all these gaming developers? And you can't livestream without audio restrictions. But on other competitors equipment. You don't have to have any restrictions all the audio is included all times

I for one would like to say that from here on out, if you're going to talk and argue about console sales and which console sold more...you should leave out China.

That country has so many restrictions on games that it's just not the same as the rest of the world.

It's going to be a whole different animal. I mean....if one sells 5 million and another doesn't go there....but the games are all crap due to the restrictions...(b/c if you've looked at the restrictions - basically no game any of us play would be allowed
there except Mario) and b/c of that you can't really get a feel since most of the games won't be going there.

Just my 2 cents.
