几乎每个人都共享家庭中的Xbox One(Xbox One)。玩游戏或看电影，或家庭 Skype 通话。几乎不可能对孩子说不，尤其是在一个年龄之后，这就是事情变得棘手的地方。值得庆幸的是，Windows 10和 Xbox等Microsoft核心产品具有强大的家庭集成功能(strong Family integration)，可让您在孩子使用 Xbox 时平静地生活。
在这篇文章中，我将详细介绍如何为您的孩子设置 Xbox One(how you can set up Xbox One for your child)。称它为Xbox One(Xbox One)的家长指南(Guide)！也就是说，我假设您的帐户已经在Xbox One上设置，而您要做的就是设置一个 Child's Account。
(Set)使用Microsoft 帐户家庭中心(Microsoft Account Family Center)设置您的帐户
您的所有家庭成员（包括您的孩子）都需要一个Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft Account)才能使用此功能。我假设既然您有 Xbox One，那么您已经有一个Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft Account)。
通过点击此链接(this link,)访问家庭中心(Family Center)，然后登录(Sign-in)。确保您以后在(Make)Xbox One上使用相同的帐户。
到达此处后，请查找显示“添加家庭成员(Add a family member)”的链接。点击打开。
在这里您可以选择儿童或成人。选择添加孩子(Add a Child)。
您会看到它要求输入电话号码或电子邮件 ID。(asks for a phone number or email id.)如果您的孩子没有电子邮件 ID，您可以通过以下链接(this link)创建一个(create one)。这与该提示中显示的链接相同。
创建电子邮件 ID(create the email ID)后，返回此处并添加到Invite him。
您必须打开孩子的电子邮件帐户并确认。
在这里，您可以设置偏好(set up preferences)、监控(monitor)他或她在互联网上浏览的内容、设置屏幕时间(set up screentime)以及应用程序(Apps)、游戏和媒体——(Media –)定制您的孩子可以访问的年龄分级内容。您还可以选择在“购买和支出”下为您的( Purchasing and Spending)孩子(Kids)账户充值- 但是，我建议不要给您的孩子钱，而是自己购买。
(Create)为您的孩子创建Xbox 档案(Xbox Profile)
现在您孩子的帐户已设置完毕，可以使用该帐户登录Xbox One。就像(Just)你一样，你的孩子也会得到一个玩家标签，我建议你让他自己决定如何命名。以后，如果他觉得，他可以把它换成别的东西。
按下控制器上的Xbox 按钮(Xbox Button)，然后打开Guide Menu。
导航到最右边。这是 System 的部分，其中包含Settings。按(Press)“A”打开设置(Settings)。
在帐户部分下找到家庭。(Family)选择它。
选择新增(Add New)。
然后使用您孩子的Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft Account)和密码登录。
在此之后，您将必须再次与父母登录，即您的Microsoft帐户以确认。
接下来还要问两件事。
- 首先，他将如何登录(how he will sign-in)。您可以保持简单，然后选择“无障碍”。
- 其次，如果您有孩子的控制器，您可以链接控制器，(link the controller,)否则使用 Instant Sign-in。您可能会获得黄金订阅；( gold subscription; )如果你想跳过。
完成此基本设置后，Microsoft会为您孩子的帐户应用所有安全设置。
它实际上与您在家庭中心(Family Center)看到的相同。您可以从控制台管理他的隐私和安全、内容访问和 Web 过滤选项。(Privacy & safety, Access to content, and Web Filtering)除此之外，您将不得不上网。
如果您的孩子足够聪明，可以通过访问Xbox Live创建 Xbox 档案，并希望您将他添加到 Xbox One。下面的屏幕截图看起来很熟悉。选择将他添加到此 Xbox。(Add him to this Xbox.)
(Set)为您的(Kid)孩子(Settings)设置Gamerpic和基本(Basic) 设置
下一个明显的步骤是和你的孩子坐在一起，为他准备一些东西。如果您对Xbox One了如指掌，您可以带他参观一下在哪里，以及他如何玩游戏等等。
Xbox One 现在支持上传个人资料图片。您可以将其从计算机复制到USB驱动器，然后从那里取出并上传。
当涉及到玩家代号时，我建议将其留给随机生成的玩家代号。Microsoft允许您免费更改一次玩家代号。发布一次(Post one)更改，您将需要支付 10 美元。但是，如果您和您的孩子对此非常确定，您可以设置第一个。
请按照以下步骤操作：
- 按下控制器上的按钮打开指南。(Guide)
- 导航到最左侧，选择他的玩家标签，然后选择 我的个人资料，(My profile,)
- 在这个新屏幕中，导航到自定义配置文件，(Customise profile,)然后选择它。
- 选择您的孩子随机生成的玩家代号，您将收到更改它的提示。
- 接下来，我建议你做以下事情：
- (Customize Dashboard)使用他最喜欢的颜色和壁纸自定义仪表板。
- 为他下载(Download)游戏。他将根据他的游戏限制分享您拥有的游戏。
- 将游戏图块固定在他的主屏幕上。
- 教他一些关于Xbox One的技巧！
最后，设置 Xbox(Setup Xbox)一屏时间(Time)限制
Microsoft Family功能的美妙之处在于决定您的孩子何时可以使用您的 Windows 10 PC 或Xbox One控制台。您可以设置他每天和特定时间段可以在Xbox One上玩的时间。(Xbox One)如果他试图拖延时间，他将需要父母的许可。
- 转到 Microsoft 家庭帐户。
- 通过点击Activity History(Activity History)来打开您孩子的帐户。
- 切换到屏幕时间。
- 打开Xbox 屏幕时间限制( Xbox screen time limits)
- 选择每一天的时间，你就会万事俱备。
当一个孩子即将达到他的时间限制时，他会收到有关它的通知。张贴时限；除非获得许可，否则他将被锁定在他的帐户之外。
您的指南到此结束。我可以写很多东西，但这足以让你开始，并从中学习。它非常简单，但是如果您有任何问题，请在评论中告诉我。(And this concludes your guide here. There are lot many things that I can write, but this is good enough for you to start with, and learn from it. Its pretty simple, but if you have a question, do let me know in the comments.)

How to set up Xbox One for your Child
Xbox One in a family is shared by almost everybody. Either to play a game or watch movies, or a family skype call. It becomes almost impossible to say no to kids, especially after an age, and this is where things get tricky. Thankfully, Microsoft core products, like Windows 10 and Xbox have strong Family integration which lets you live peacefully when your kids use your Xbox.
In this post, I am going into a lot of details on how you can set up Xbox One for your child. Call it as a Parent’s Guide for Xbox One! That said, I am assuming your account is already setup on Xbox One, and all you want to do is set up a Child’s Account.
Set up your Accounts with Microsoft Account Family Center
You will need a Microsoft Account for all your family members, including your kid to make use of this feature. I am assuming since you have an Xbox One, you already have a Microsoft Account.
Visit Family Center by following this link, and Sign-in. Make sure you use the same account on Xbox One later.
Once you are here, look for the link which says Add a family member. Click to open.
Here you can select between child or adult. Select Add a Child.
You will see that it asks for a phone number or email id. In case your kid doesn’t have an email ID, you can create one by following this link. This is the same link that appears in that prompt.
Once you create the email ID, come back here, and add to Invite him.
You will have to open your child’s email account and confirm it.
Here you can set up preferences, monitor what he or she is browsing on the internet, set up screentime, and for Apps, games, and Media – tailor what age rated content your child has access to. You also have the option to add money to your Kids account under Purchasing and Spending – however, I will suggest not to give money to your kid, and buy on your own.
Create an Xbox Profile for your Child
Now that your kid’s account is set up, the same can be used to sign-in to the Xbox One. Just like you, your kid will also get a gamer tag, and I will suggest you leave it up to him on how he wants to name it. Later on, if he feels, he can change it to something else.
Press the Xbox Button on your controller, and open the Guide Menu.
Navigate to the extreme right. This is System’s section which will have Settings. Press “A” to open Settings.
Find Family under Account section. Select it.
Select Add New.
Then sign in-in with your child’s Microsoft Account, and password.
After this, you will have to sign-in again with parents, i.e., your Microsoft account to confirm.
Two more things will be asked next.
- First, how he will sign-in. You can keep it simple, and select “No Barriers”.
- Second, If you have a controller for your child, you can link the controller, else use Instant Sign-in. You might be offered a gold subscription; Skip if you want to.
Once this basic setup is complete, Microsoft applies all security settings for your kid’s account.
It’s actually the same which you see in the Family Center. You can manage his Privacy & safety, Access to content, and Web Filtering option from the console. Anything more than this, you will have to get online.
In case your kid was smart enough to create an Xbox Profile by visiting Xbox Live, and want you to add him to Xbox One. The screenshot below will look familiar. Choose to Add him to this Xbox.
Set up Gamerpic & Basic Settings for your Kid
The next obvious step is to sit with your kid and set up few things for him. If you know everything about Xbox One, you can give him a tour of what is where, and how he can play games, and so on.
Xbox One now supports uploading a profile pic. You can copy it from your computer to a USB drive, and then pick it up from there, and upload.
When it comes to gamertag, I suggested to leave it to the randomly generated gamertag. Microsoft allows you to change gamertag once for free. Post one change, you will have to pay 10$. However, if you and your kid are pretty sure about it, you can set up the first one.
Follow the steps below:
- Open the Guide by pressing the button on the controller.
- Navigate to the extreme left, and select his gamer tag, and then My profile,
- In this new screen, navigate to Customise profile, and select it.
- Select your kids randomly generated gamertag, and you will get a prompt to change it.
- Next, I suggest you do the following things:
- Customize Dashboard with his favorite color, and wallpaper.
- Download games for him. He will share the games you have based on his gaming restrictions.
- Pin the game tiles on his home screen.
- Teach a few tricks about Xbox One to him!
Lastly, Setup Xbox One-screen Time limits
The beauty of Microsoft Family feature is about deciding when your child can use your Windows 10 PC or the Xbox One console. You can setup time he can play on Xbox One for every day and for a particular time period. If he tries to play off the timing, he will need parents permission.
- Go to Microsoft Family Account.
- Open your child’s account by clicking on Activity History.
- Switch to Screen Time.
- Turn on Xbox screen time limits
- Select the timing for every day, and you will be all set.
When a kid is about to reach his time limit, he will get a notification about it. Post the time limit; he will be locked out of his account unless permission is granted.
And this concludes your guide here. There are lot many things that I can write, but this is good enough for you to start with, and learn from it. Its pretty simple, but if you have a question, do let me know in the comments.
