Microsoft Family

Microsoft Family app provides reports and parental controls across the devices in your family.

It can be used on devices such as PC’s, gaming consoles and smart phones.

How does Microsoft Family Work?

Microsoft Family works by you (the Parent) downloading the app and starting the family group. The first group member is known as the Family Organiser.

Then you begin to add your family members to your group. You can do this by inviting them using their phone number or email address. Each group member will need a Microsoft Account so if they don’t already have one you can create one for them as part of the setup.

Once your family members have been added, you can begin to set the parental controls for them and their devices.
