Method 2: Roblox's built-in parental controls
Roblox lets a parent link their own Roblox account to their child's and manage it from there. Once linked, you can set a daily playtime limit, limit who can chat with your child, filter content by age, and cap Robux spending. Because the limits are attached to the account, they apply on every device — PC, phone, tablet and Xbox.
- Sign in to your parent Roblox account and open Settings → Parental Controls.
- Link your child's account (Roblox walks you through it).
- Set the daily time limit and other restrictions.
Good to know: a daily limit decides how much Roblox your child plays, not when. An hour of Roblox right after school still uses up homework time. Roblox changes these menus from time to time, so check the current labels in its help center.
Method 3: Microsoft Family Safety
If your child signs in to Windows with their own Microsoft account in your family group, you can manage apps and games from family.microsoft.com or the Family Safety app:
- Choose your child, then Windows → Apps and games.
- Find Roblox and either block it or set a daily time limit and allowed hours.
- Add roblox.com to blocked websites under content filters (this applies in Microsoft Edge).
Good to know: Family Safety only works when your child uses their own Microsoft account on the PC — not a shared or local account — and its website filters only apply in Edge, so it's common to block other browsers too.
Which one should you use?
- Roblox should wait until homework is done → Distraction Blocker. Start a session when homework starts; Roblox comes back in the breaks and afterwards.
- You want a daily cap everywhere → Roblox parental controls, because they follow the account to every device.
- You want to manage the whole PC and your child already has a Microsoft account → Family Safety.
- Both → Use Roblox's daily limit for the overall amount, and Distraction Blocker to keep homework time Roblox-free.
