The Pro Loadout: Empowering The Full Xbox Experience With Managed Users

Navigating the myriad of privacy and security options for your xboxes can be tricky. Luckily, we've developed what we call "Loadouts" to help simplify this process.

Today we will talk about the "Pro Loadout". This is the recommended configuration for your xbox that allows your users to add and message friends and play online in a way that allows your to monitor and manage activity through CoPlay XM.

Please note that this configuration is only recommended to be used in combination with CoPlay XM as it allows your users more freedom in playing with friends and family members but also allows your to clean up and wipe the user activity via CoPlay XM when they are finished.

The CoPlay Pro Loadout

This loadout is designed to let patients play games with each other online while not allowing text or voice communication with anyone outside the hospital. Patients can message and voice chat with each other while CoPlay XM clears any message history nightly so all PHI can be cleared from the device. One more feature this loadout gives patients is the ability to play games and have text/voice communication with friends and family online. Meanwhile, stopping any “strangers” from interacting with them. You can decide the ratings of content you want to allow patients to access all while stopping patients from:

  • Adding their own Xbox accounts
  • Removing the hospitals from the Xbox
  • Changing settings
  • Purchasing games
  • Web surfing
  • Linking social media accounts
  • Resetting the console

This loadout will also stop games and apps from accessing any microphones or cameras that patients plug into it. We are working on ways to stop patients from downloading apps or allowing patients to login to their own app accounts (such as Netflix, Spotify, Disney +, etc) while we remove the accounts nightly. Until then, this is something your cyber security or networking department can most likely restrict on the internet firewall.

Note this loadout isn't perfect for every hospital’s wants and needs, but we are happy to build you a custom loadout so you no longer have to question what patients have access to on your gaming systems. If used right, gaming is an amazing way for patients to pass time during their stay and can provide engaging content for the whole family to play worry free.
