Hi! For Microsoft Family it only blocks the sites backed on specific preferences and age rating. There's no Firewall as part of the service.

So, under your child's profile, tap on 'Apps & Games' and then 'Discord'. Now tap 'Set A Limit' and you'll be able to schedule the windows and also the time limit overall.

But how do i do multiple so that he can do one hour before breakfast and then no more until after lunch@@HowToDoItTech

I see! Unfortunately you can't segment the day at this time. However, if you're willing to manage it manually, you can award extra time on request from your child. e.g. You set a schedule of 9am to 6pm in the app and then set up a time limit of 5 minutes. Then when your child first starts using the app, you can award that many hours/minutes until lunchtime. Not ideal, but I hope it helps.

Thanks, by the way. I'm the child and I'm trying to limit myself XD@@HowToDoItTech

Aha. You might benefit from the Wellbeing features instead: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.wellbeing&hl=en_CA&gl=US

Thank you! I'm delighted the video was useful for you l :)

So, one way to do it is set individual limits by app and award time outside of school/study hours. Then you can set 'always accessible' on the school apps. If you're worried about your son accessing KZfaq via a browser (rather than the app) set Chrome permissions to request access from a parent to www.KZfaq.com

@@HowToDoItTech how do you set "always accessible" on ms family safety? I have been searching for that but couldn't find it)

@@HowToDoItTech how can you set "always accessible" on PC's apps on Microsoft safety? I couldn't find that option. Regarding permissions in chrome (or Edge, as we are talking about MS safety?) the problem is not so much about allowing or not allow a website at all. But rather WHEN to allow it and when not. As PC is used for mixed use, I am happy for them to access youtube when relaxing , but not when studying. or.. am I looking it from the wrong angle?

Hi again. So... if I understand the question correctly, on the web you navigate to your child profile>Apps and Games and then next to the app or game there are three dots. Click on that. Here you can select 'Turn Limits Off'. On mobile, the process is largely the same but instead of the three dots, tap on the app or game, then choose 'Remove Time Limits' at the top. I did some digging and you can also do this for Edge or Chrome (same process as above but instead choosing the times and days you're comfortable with your child accessing both). You can't set limits on domains from what I can see. Just block or unblock. I hope that helps!

@@HowToDoItTech I am afraid the "Turn Limits Off" in family safety is different from the 'always accessible' you have in google's family link: Consider you have timelimits for individual apps, and overall screentime for the device. Even when you set no limits for an indivual app in windows, once the overall screentime for the device is over the whole thing is blocked, and no app is accessible then. In google it's different as even when you reach the overall timelimit you can still access the apps set as "always accessible". That helps me in google by setting "always accessible" the productivity/study apps, while blocking with timelimits all the distracting ones. I trying to wrap my head around it as many ways as possible, but I really failing to find usefulness to MS's app for any kids older than 10 (or anyone using the PC both for study and for fun)

Yes, it does.

Good luck! ;)

No worries. Yep, the kids get warnings at 15, 5, and 2 minutes. Then it locks them out and they can request more time which you can do on your connected mobile app or on the device itself.

@@HowToDoItTech thanks! Enabled it tonight, let's e how tomorrow goes!

:o
