How to Set Up the Game and App Limits on Xbox One
by Johnny Potter Office SetupSetting up the limit on apps and
games is possible on Xbox One with the help of Microsoft Family Group.
Individually it helps the user to limit the usage of apps or to spend high on
games. More importantly, it is necessary for the kids because an excess of
anything harms kids. So yes it is better if you are thinking of setting up the
limit of games and apps on Xbox One. It will not just mentally help the kids,
but also it will help physically. So now, in order to set the limit, you need
to make Microsoft Family Group, and then you can “create a child account.”
Basically,
you need to sign into the Xbox One with your account. Just begin your Xbox
console and tap the Xbox key on the middle of the controller. Move to the
avatar section and click on “Sign In” and then choose “Add New.”
Even
if you are setting up the Microsoft Family Group, you need to at least login
with the child account. Do all these things in any browser or Xbox One itself.
After entering the email, you will receive a specific email for directly
sending you to the main hub of Microsoft Family Group. You can choose any
existing email account as well, and all this is depending on you. Once you
reach, you need to configure “set broader content for the restriction of child
accounts.”
While
continuing on Xbox One, you will be required to sign in with the Microsoft
account. In every device, the procedure and results will be similar.
Now
if you want your child to use third-party apps, you need to read the agreement
policies and terms, some additional details and privacy statements. All these
things will be related to the third-party apps that you select as appropriate
on the right side.
Follow
the options and choose a preference of Gamertag that you want for your child
account. Choose one section among three security options from “Sign-in &
security preferences.” You can select from “No Barrier,” “Ask for My Passkey,”
and “Lock it Down.”
For
using the child account, you made the child account in the Microsoft Family
Group. However, to make the profile of a child on the Xbox One, you need to
move to Microsoft Family Group from any browser and put a limit on games and
apps.
Choose
the account for which you want to set up a limit and tap on the App and Game
Limits.” On the same section, you can see, approve and deny the outstanding request
that asks to access the games and apps.
To
put up the time limit on any game or app, just head to the “Time Limits”
section and toggle it on. Once you enable it, there will be no limit in the
beginning because you have to toggle on the function of every game for
activating the default timing, which is one hour.
You
can easily modify the schedule for weekdays and weekends by tapping on any game
or app. Just use the slider to adjust the limit and set long and short you want
for any app or game. Make a proper timing schedule by using the “Allow from”
and “To” section and adjust the proper timing.
