Set up Call of Duty more safely

7 minutesEssential

1. Age suitability

Check the rating for the specific title before allowing play; many Call of Duty titles are intended for mature audiences.

2. Communication

Use the in-game privacy settings and console controls to restrict voice chat, text chat, friend requests and cross-platform communication.

3. Play and spending

Set time limits and purchase approval at the console or platform level. Show the player how to mute, block and report others.

Final check: confirm privacy, communication, account protection, content, purchases and reporting tools. Review settings again after major app or game updates.
