Can I downgrade from Gold, but manage my kids' Gold accounts?

Over a year ago, I bought a Xbox Live Gold family plan for myself and 2 kids. A couple months ago, Xbox converted all of the Live Gold accounts from family to individual and added a few months onto each.

When the time to renew comes, I was thinking of "downgrading" my account to the non-Gold version of Xbox live and then still renew Live Gold for the kids. Since they are 10, I have some parental controls and limitations enabled.

My question is, even if my account is not "Gold", can I still manage and keep control of their Gold accounts? Thanks!

Can I Add my Gold Account to a Family Account?

Does anyone know whether it's possible to add my Gold Account to a Family Gold Account?

I was thinking of buying a Family Gold Account for the kids now they are old enough, but would like to manage the entire Family account using my existing Gold Account.

Possible?

 

When sharing your Gold subscription, what are the specific gold benefits you get?

When I set my xbox to the home XBOX my gold subscription is supposedly shared with my kids accounts. What does this include?

It seems they (kids) can play games online but they (kids) cannot purchase games with gold for example.

Can someone clarify?

Thanks!

 

Hey there dmk. Yes, as long as your account is the parental account, then you can always be able to manage their accounts until they are of the legal adult age in your country.
