    Change Child Account to allow Third-Party apps


    My son is trying to link Xbox account to Discord but is getting the message:

    Something went wrong

    Your parent has blocked access to games and apps that aren’t published by Microsoft. If you want to use this app, ask your parent to visit account.live.com/mk and go to Manage this child’s access to third-party apps for your account.

    However, there is no option to allow third-party apps on this page as I always get the following (cleared cookies/ restarted PC etc):

    Manage permissions
    In the United States, South Korea and the EU, legislation requires that children have adult consent before creating an online account. You can use this page to manage the child accounts for which you provided consent. Learn
    more
    .

    To manage restrictions for your children, view your family settings.

    When I go to family settings, it just takes me back to the usual screen and there is no obvious settings/ option to allow third-party apps. Where can I give access to allow third-party apps for a child account?

    Thanks

    :)

    Can we get better internet browsers on xbox

    i'm sorry but Microsoft edge on the Xbox is designed mostly for viewing product information. It is intentionally sandboxed to prevent malware, , and often does not support third-party video playback,

    I suggest you lobby the site to make an app for Xbox as this is highly unlikely to change. No third party browsers will be allowed on this secure platform.

    Hi there RobertPU,

    Thanks for the update on the issue with purchasing a game from a 3rd party service. As mentioned above, we recommend to contact
    GOG support center https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us (game technical issues section) to verify if there is a specific issue on their version of the game.

    Access to third party apps

    Thank you! We are using a PC. Yes, I’d like to adjust settings for a child’s account. I found all of the Family Safety menus but I can’t find anything that mentions Third Party apps.

    Can i use an macbook air 2020 M1 as a monitor for xbox series s by internet sharing?

    You can KINDA but Apple doesn't support it nor do they allow it

    You have two options download an third party app for remote play or cloud it's changing soon but Apple is taking their time and FTC is still has to try the case it only applies to EU atm for third party apps

    Basically Apple does not like it when you skip giving them money

    Or do it officially and install Windows and use the Xbox app

    no microphone on child account

    Yes, I suspect it is something like this; somehow, the child in the party has been muted. I have created a party with only the child in it; the child is still muted in this case. I also tried creating the party from the parent's account and the working
    child account and allowing the non-working child account to join those. In each case, the parent and newly added child mic works; the old child does not. This is all using the same controller and headset.
