    Cant broadcast because it says I'm a child account when I'm on a adult account

    I have been on quite a few chats with xbox support as they have tried to help but have not succeeded. my issue is I have allowed my xbox to broadcast I'm on a adult account but it is detecting me as a child account. done multiple solution such as restarting
    network, deleting cache, rebooting system, enabling and disabling as nothing has worked. I can't even sign in on my beam account using Microsoft it is very frustrating as all I want is to broadcast with friends.

    my supporter said to include chat reference which is 1385395031

    yeah when I was on Xbox support he check my account and it's an adult account. It's also allowed but when I go onto it says your too young to broadcast even if allowed. They have checked and I'm classified as an adult account but being detected as a child
    please help

    Hey there, happy to lend you some support in the right direction! I won't be able to look into your account from my end, but it might be a good idea to give the steps on this page a try to start: Xbox One online safety and privacy settings

    But to also reach out to the official Xbox Support Chat/Phone team here: Contact Us | Xbox Support so they can take a deeper dive into your account and your account settings to see what's going on. They would have the tools to really take
    a closer look. Account says I'm a child account, although I'm not. :)

    You dont first and foremost

    Changing the age of your account has no bearing on your account status

    You can call support to see what your status is

    You can remove the parental account at https://accounts.microsoft.com

    However only after the accounr reaches the age of 18 based on when it was originally set when you created the account no sooner

    Doing so before the age of maturity will only result in you being locked out until you readd a parental account

    Account says I'm a child account, although I'm not.

    Whenever I try to change my settings through aka.ms/accountsettings , it always leads me to this page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026796/microsoft-account-change-childs-xbox-privacy-online-safety-settings . Although I am an adult
    account, I cannot access any of the links on this page OR xbox.com that would let me change my privacy settings. Any help?
