If you are a family organizer in an Xbox family group, you might want to see the activity reports of other organizers in your family, such as your spouse or partner. However, by default, the activity reporting feature is only enabled for child and teen accounts, and adult organizers can choose whether to share their activity with the family or not. In this article, we will show you how to enable activity reporting for all members in your Xbox family group, including other organizers, and how to view their activity reports on the web or on the Xbox Family Settings app.

What is activity reporting?

Activity reporting is a feature that allows organizers of an Xbox family group to see a member’s activity on Xbox consoles, Windows devices, and Android devices with version 5.0 or higher. This includes anytime a member plays games, uses apps, or browses the web on Microsoft Edge. You can enable and review activity reports with the steps below.

Activity reporting can help you monitor and manage your family’s online safety and screen time. You can see what games and apps your family members are using, how much time they spend on each device, what websites they visit, and what terms they search on Bing. You can also set content filters, screen time limits, purchase permissions, and location sharing for each member in your family group.
