Setting filter times for BT Parental Controls

Setting filter times

Turn off your filter levels for a period of time:

1. Log in to My BT with your BT ID.
2. Scroll down to and click on the Manage your extras button, followed by clicking on Manage BT Parental Controls.
3. Select Manage Settings under BT Parental Controls and choose the Set filter times tab.
4. Providing your BT Parental Controls are switched on, your filters are on by default 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. However, you can set a time period during which your BT Parental Controls are disabled. During this time, protection against inappropriate content will be disabled on all devices connected to your Hub.
5. To turn off filters, choose the days from the drop-down, then set a start time for when the filters turn off and an end time for when they turn back on.
6. After you have selected the days and times, click Save changes, and your settings will be saved. You'll see a confirmation message

Homework time is an additional layer of protection beyond your day-to-day filters. It allows you to set the additional filters to turn on and off automatically at the times you choose. It will also block social networking, gaming and cheating websites.

Add additional filters for homework time:

1. Log in to My BT with your BT ID.
2. Scroll down to and click on the Manage your extras button, followed by clicking on Manage BT Parental Controls.
3. Select Manage Settings under BT Parental Controls and choose the Set filter times tab.
4. By setting homework time filtering, you're keeping your current filter levels while adding blocking for online gaming, social media, and school-cheating sites.
5. To activate homework time filters, simply choose the days from the drop-down, then select a start time for the additional homework filters to start and an end time.
6. After you have selected the days and times, click Save changes, and your settings will be saved. You'll see a confirmation message

Can I add/remove categories during homework time?
