Welcome to XboxIssues

Welcome. I decided to make this blog after being a Xbox Ambassador for a number of years.

If you don't know an Ambassador is a Volunteer that Microsoft uses to help ease the load on the actual hard working support people.

I noticed that alot of the questions I would get could easily be solved by using Microsofts Xbox.com site.

Since some of the help articles may be hard to find, understand or the issue may be called something different in the gaming community making it more difficult to solve, I've decided to make this blog to make it easier for fellow gamers to get xbox assistance, news and all things Xbox.

If you have any Xbox related question you can find the answer to feel free to contact me on YouTube, twitter or in the comments.

HOW TO: Set A Family Timer On Xbox One

Use the family timer feature on Xbox One to set screen time limits. Parents familiar with screen time limits for Windows 10 will find a similar set of controls for Xbox One. Set daily time allowance and limits for each child—your Xbox One will pick those limits up and enforce them whenever the child is signed in. 

This has to be done on any web browser on PC or on the Xbox One using Edge.






  1. Log in to http://account.microsoft.com using the Parent account
  2. On the blue menu bar click family
  3. Under the person you want to set a timer for select "screen time" all the way on the right
  4. Next to "Set limits for when my child can use devices" click the toggle to turn the family timer on or off, once it’s turned on you can set the max amount of time per play each day, or set multiple time slots per day.


You can also restrict usage on any Windows 10 PC your child has an account from this page as well.
