Broken Child Account Setting

WokeSears · Jul 28, 2017

I am 18 and had no idea my account was a child account until just recently when I attempted to make a custom gamerpicture. A notice appeared that stated "For Custom images, you need to be older." I looked into this and explored the settings on my Xbox which
led me to a new notice saying "This is a child account, you need to be older to do this" Since then I have changed my age to 18 on every conceivable setting on every available microsoft website. Anything will help, I just need some genuine info because this
is ridiculous.

Xbox One Child Account Information

Microsoft gives the parents the control over what their kids play, you go into settings, and you can set up the child settings and restrict what ratings for movies, tv shows, music, and games can be accessed by the child account. If you want your child to play a game that's rated M, then set it to that. Want the child restrictions turned off, then do that. The power is in your hands.

Nothing but father time can fix your issue

Once set an age of an account can never be changes even changing the email won't work

You have to wait till you actually turn 18

It's been broken for most of the day for child accounts and/or former secondary accounts for Family Packs.

Give it a try again to see if it'll behave.

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.
