It's hard to know how your kids are using the game without a screen. You can still use other features and devices to set up some restrictions with the lack of parental controls.
Understanding that there aren't any is the first step in setting up parental controls. The Quest requires a Facebook account to use, but lacks any filters for content.
It is possible to look into the content ratings of specific games before allowing your kids to play them. If you are looking for a filter that will restrict certain content, you won't find one. There is a built-in browser that doesn't have parental controls.
There are options for parental controls in virtual reality.
The lack of a screen to see what kids watch is one of the biggest concerns with parental controls. Kids can watch online videos on the headset without being shown anyone else. The in-headset view can be cast to another device.
Make sure the headset and device are on the same network. Go to the settings on the bottom right and download the app for your phone. Follow the instructions to connect your headset and app after you pair it.
The icon at the top right of your phone looks like a headset, if you tap it. You can get a live feed of the view from within the headset on your phone.
You can set your headset to sync saved files with the mobile app to keep an eye on your kids' media consumption. The main menu can be brought up by pressing the button in the headset. The cloud icon is in the top right corner if you tap the Files app.
You can see saved files in the mobile app. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the kinds of content your children are saving on the device because it will automatically go away after 14 days.
There is no built-in parental controls in Quest, but you can restrict in-browser content from your internet connection. Some of the features of a routers are parental controls, which allow you to monitor traffic, and block websites.
What this looks like depends on the type of internet connection you have. Refer to your instructions to see what options are available. Try the controls out in your headset if they don't work with every browser.
No solution is perfect, even if there are built-in parental controls. The best results will come from using a combination of steps and considering third-party network security apps.
Even if you don't worry about content, you should use these controls for general security. Keeping an eye on the history and content of your headset is a good idea.
