    Set child time limits for combination of games, but leave unlimited Zoom / Office time?


    Hello! I'd like to give my son unlimited time to work in MS Office or be on Zoom for school stuff. But I'd like to count everything else Edge, Discord, games, etc toward his screen time limit. It seems like there should be an obvious way to do this, but I can't quite figure it out. Any tips?

    :)

    Set child time limits for combination of games, but leave unlimited Zoom / Office time?

    Edge message "Time's Up" even though he has unlimited screen time - son unable to log in

    To isolate this concern, we suggest that you create a new child account and add it to your family. Once done, please set the time limits to unlimited and check if the issue will occurs.
