Note

If this is your first time setting up family protection, hit “Create a family group.” You’re asked to
enroll your family members, one by one. Each one requires a Microsoft account and a cellphone
number or email address, which Microsoft will use to invite them to join the family. The following
pages assume you’ve already added your family-mates to the group.

The main screen is a list of your family members (Figure 11-6).

Tip

In the “More options” drop-down menu, you’ll find a “Remove from family” command, which
you might use in the event of a really ugly rebellious-teen episode.

Select a kid’s name to open his main screen. Here are your options,

arranged as headings across the screen:

Activity

On this screen, you see your youngster’s recent activity: a complete list of
web searches, websites visited, apps and games used, and total amount of

screen time. You can also turn off activity tracking (or just the weekly email
reports).

Tip

This screen even tallies your kid’s phone time, provided that it’s an Android phone and that
you’ve installed the Microsoft Launcher app on it.

Screen time

This feature (Figure 11-7) lets you control when your little tyke can use the
computer—a much more automated method than constant “Why don’t you

go out and play?” nagging.
