How do I set screen time limits on my child's Xbox Series X or Xbox One?
You manage screen time limits through the Microsoft Family Safety app or website by adding your child's Xbox account to your family group. From the dashboard, you can set a daily allotment of screen time specifically for Xbox console activity.
Will my child get a warning before their Xbox screen time runs out?
Yes, the Xbox operating system will send a notification to the child's screen 15 minutes before their allotted time expires. If they need more time, they can send a real-time request directly from the console to the organizer's Microsoft Family Safety app for approval.
Can I restrict Xbox screen time limits to only apply on weekends or specific days?
The Microsoft Family Safety app allows you to create custom schedules for each day of the week. You can easily set different time caps or completely block access on weekdays versus weekends.

Yes, the screen time countdown only tracks active usage while the console is awake and the child is signed in. If they turn off the console or switch profiles, the daily timer pauses until they sign back in.
