New Online Friends for Xbox 360

Manage approval of your child's online friends from the Privacy and Friends screen in Family Settings.

Other people on Xbox LIVE may want to add your child to their personal friends list. You can require these requests to be approved by you, or you can allow your child to approve them on his or her own.

To configure your child's settings for new online friends:

1. Start from the System area of the Xbox Dashboard or—if you're using the Xbox 360 system for the first time—from the Initial Setup Complete screen. Select Family Settings, Xbox LIVE Controls and sign in using your Windows Live ID.
2. Select Privacy and Friends, New Online Friends.
3. Choose one of the following settings:
   • Select Approval Not Required to allow your child to send and accept new friend requests on his or her own.
   • Select Require Approval to require that all new friend requests be approved by you. If you select this option, you must also approve any new friend requests that your child wants to send to other people.
