    Attempting to link accounts to a family


    Im having trouble making an xbox account family.

    I tried to do it from the console but I got an error message and didnt know what was going wrong. I looked up the guide on creating family and followed the instructions but I got the same message. I tried creating a family from the website and it told me
    the family already existed. Im not sure what Im doing wrong. Is there something I am missing or a setting I should try to correct? Any answers are welcome.

    :)

    child account with unknown organizer

    Greetings A Gerbrandt,

    Let me see if I can help you with figuring this out.

    Have you attempted to log in to child account here and go down to the family settings at the bottom? This will give you the basic information for the family group that account is a part of. It won't be much because of security concerns but it might lead you to what accounts it is linked to.

    You may also attempt to contact our support team here to look into the issue a bit further. Please keep in mind that they won't be able to help with every issue depending on how the accounts are linked.

    Once the family accounts are identified, they will need to be logged into as only an adult in the family can remove a child account, which will allow it to be relinked to another family group. Instructions to that can be found here.

    Hope this helps and happy gaming.

    Managing XBox Purchases

    Hello Kate, sorry to hear you're having trouble with your purchases.

    There are a couple of options for you here. One is to follow the instructions here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-onli... to set up a key for your account if the card is not linked to your son's account.

    If the card is linked to the account and you're the parent account for him you can either log in to https://account.microsoft.com/family or download the Xbox Family app to your mobile device. Once done and logged in your can turn off his ability to make purchases or set it so that you need to approve every purchase attempt

    Activity report

    Hello CFleur,

    Are you attempting to view the console activity from the iPhone?

    Have you attempted to view the activity from our website through the family tab?

    As you have added their account to the family, is the activity being checked from an adult account that is within that same family?

    Clarify this information and we'll await your response.

    Best wishes!

    Problem with Family account linked

    Game sharing is part of your Home setting, not family settings. You would need to set the new console as your Home console in order for your brother to access anything you bought on your account (and/or he would need to set the console as his Home console
    for you to access his content).
