    Allowing Skype on XBox Child Account


    We are trying to get skype to work on my son's Xbox account and I have enabled camera, microphone, and contacts for Skype, but we are still getting a message about device capability and updating the settings in Family Settings, but I cannot figure out
    what else to enable. Could someone tell me exactly which settings to turn on/allow? Thank you

    :)

    I can not get any help changing the birth date on an account listed as a child account in my family page.

    It will allow you to play certain games with a child account.

    EA is known for not allowing child accounts through xbox to play their games.

    Skype and my Child's Account

    Hello:

    It may be because Xbox's child accounts already assume that she is a minor, and if that is the case, the account is a child account, and if it was set up initially as a child account, it may not be able to "graduate" to adult status until she reaches the
    age of majority wherever you live. <The age restriction may be the sole reason you cannot associate a Skype account with her gamertag.>

    WHY DO I NEED TO TURN ON PARTY CHAT!!!

    MS should upgrade all xbox live accounts to premium skype to allow for group chat. Scrap this party chat.

    Skype to replace Xbox LIVE Chat?

    This is kind of old news since last May 2012 - Microsoft did confirm that Skype will power the next-generation Xbox with voice and video features when they put out a job listing. This is only super-wonderful if it either allows video chat whilst playing
    a game, and/or allows you to call anyone else with Skype anywhere whilst you're playing a game. If this is just skype voice chat for xbox live friends list only or the matchmaking lobbies you're in - then it's just skype branded xbox live voice chat!

    Hopefully it allows skype to skype calling universally.

    How do I make it so my child can stream on Xbox series s when hes old enough but it says it will be disabled

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good evening

    If your child's Xbox Series S account is set up as a child account, there are a few steps you can take to allow your child to stream on the console when they are old enough.

    Make sure that your child's account is linked to a parent account. If it is not already linked, you can link the child account to a parent account by going to "Settings" > "Account" > "Family" on the console, and then following the prompts to link the accounts.

    Once the child account is linked to a parent account, the parent can change the privacy and online safety settings for the child account by going to "Settings" > "Account" > "Family" > "Manage family members" > [child's name] > "Privacy & online safety".

    Under the "Privacy & online safety" settings, the parent can change the settings for "Online safety" and "Broadcasting". For example, the parent can allow the child to participate in multiplayer gaming and share content online, or allow the child to stream content.

    If the parent account is not able to change the settings for the child account, it may be because the child account is set up as a "Younger child" account. In this case, the parent will need to request that the child's account be converted to a "Child" account. This can be done by going to "Settings" > "Account" > "Family" > "Manage family members" > [child's name] > "Change to a child account".

    I hope this information helps you allow your child to stream on the Xbox Series S.
