How do I prevent a group conversation

[russ]

My daugther wants access to instant messenger, but I am concerned that
her friends could invite her to conversations with people that are not
in her contact list. Is there any way to control a multi-way
conversation?

I have a 13yo
and welcome replies to this as well,
It seems a bit quiet around here
hope you get a reply.

Greetings,

Sure is. Using the Windows Live Family Safety tools, you can restrict their contact list so
they can only talk to people you've allowed -- that includes multiparty conversations.

Anyone attempting to add people to conversations that aren't on that list will be denied.

You can sign up as a parent and set things up here:

Thanks. This has certainly put me on the right track. However, I am
having some problems. When I go to this address I get the following
error: "Additional information is needed for this Windows Live account
before you can add this person to Family Safety." I have tried
numerous things with no luck. I had to change my daughter's location
to the United States just to get the requirement for parental
permission. I have done the same with my account, but still no luck.

Hi,

Yes, you have to the following fields in registered information filled in for it to make the
service available to you. I have no idea why they don't make this clear on the site:
First name, last name, birth date, industry, occupation, job title, children, and the home
location address info.

I have checked about 5 times that each of these :
First name
last name
birth date
industry
occupation
job title,
children
home location address info

is completed and I still get the "Additional information is needed for
this Windows Live account before you can add this person to Family
Safety.".

My wife can get into the Family Safety account but I can't !

Any more ideas ?

Thanks

Steve
