Using Family Settings to control access to content

If you use Family Settings to control what content you share through Xbox LIVE, the SnagFilms app won't start when a child account is signed in unless you enter the personal identification number (PIN).

For more information about how to restrict Xbox LIVE content using Family Settings, see Xbox 360 console parental controls.
