How to specify time-control of a challenge ?

When I click on Play a Friend , a board comes up with 15:00 as time. The friend I play likes slow time controls.  I can find no way to change the 15:00. Clicking on the time does nothing.  Nowhere in the Settings is any provision for time.  How do I set the time-control of a challenge ?

Clicking the time should bring up the dialog to change the time. How are you doing it? App or website?

Website using Windows 10. Left-clicking on or anywhere around the 15:00 does nothing, either on Opponent's time or mine. Right-clicking brings up a small Windows box listing View Page Source, Inspect, etc.

Thanks for the help. But where is Custom ?

On my Home screen there are about 8 icons down left side. Opening these reveals a submenu, none of which include Custom . Opening my profile at top-left shows no Custom . At upper right corner there are 4 icons. First is Friends. Second is Games ; reveals no Custom . Third is Messages. Last is Settings ; can find no Custom in any of the submenus. Perhaps I missed it, but went through these twice.

Custom is when you are in the Play pages. https://www.chess.com/play/online

That's where you can choose your options for playing games.
