Every parent wants their child to make use of the latest technology, but that doesn't mean there are not concerns. The internet is both a valuable resource and a scary place, particularly for younger children, for instance. But there are also concerns about how long children end up using computers, phones, tablets and consoles – this is something that Microsoft Family Safety can help with.
Hello, I am sorry if I place this in the wrong forum but I this appears to be the best place I could find. My question is simple: MS Family Safety seems to hides all Youtube comments and the only way is for me to see the comments is to open them separately in another window/tab. Then check if the Family Safety Screen Time is working fine. Solution 6: Remove/Re-Add the Screen Times and Child Account. The issue could be a result of a communication glitch between the Microsoft Family Safety server and your PC. In this scenario, removing/readding the screen times may clear the glitch and thus solve the problem.
This wide-ranging parental control app for iOS and Android gives you the power to monitor and control what you child is able to do across Windows, Android and Xbox platforms. It also goes beyond this, enabling you to track the location of your child, so you always know where they are.
Working much like the parental control option in Windows 10, the Microsoft Family Safety app lets you set limits for what your child is able to do online. This means that you can set up filters so they cannot access sites that you do not feel are suitable for them – although this only works in Microsoft Edge – and you can also limit the types of apps and games they are able to download and use. You can use the app to put app and game restrictions across Windows, Xbox and Android.
There are additional features available that are limited to Windows and Xbox platform, specifically the ability to configure time limits. If you are concerned that your child is gaming too much, or using their computer too much, you can put restrictions in place. Sadly, Android is not covered by this feature, but there are other tools available to fill this gap.
You can configure the apps to email you reports about your child's activity, so you'll be notified if they try to access an adult website, for instance. While it is possible to put time restrictions in place, your child is able to put in requests for additional access time, and the app allows you to permit or deny these requests.
The option of tracking location is not something that everyone will agree with, for parents who are concerned about where their child is, it can offer great peace of mind.
Verdict:
For any concerned parent who wants to give their child access to the internet specifically and technology in general, Microsoft Family Safety offers a reassuring degree of control that helps to bring peace of mind. It certainly something that feels better suited to younger children, but parents with kids of all ages will feel comforted by the support it gives.
There are two ways to see your family group on a map.
Family Safety
Find your family when they use the Microsoft Family Safety app on Android devices or iPhones. As long as they're sharing their location using the Family Safety app, this can include their location on a map and what the address or saved place is.
To find your family:
Windows Family Safety Download
Sign in to your account on the Family Safety app.
What you see next will vary based on your family role. If you're an organizer, the family member list will show you their location as an address or saved place. If you're a member, you'll see your activity here.
To see a family member on the map, turn the switch in the upper left corner to Map, then tap on a family member. You'll get a closer view of where they are on the map and their location as an address or saved place.
