    Changing parent account to child Account


    when we signed up for Xbox1 years ago my husband logged into Microsoft and my son began his Xbox gaming under that account, the parent account. We do not want him on the parent account. I would ideally like to save his progress and transfer that to a
    child’s account. Any ideas?

    :)

    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.

    Cannot remove parental lock even though I'm an adult

    Only a parental (adult account) can change the privacy settings for a child account. Your parents should open an adult account and add your child account to it.

    Xbox broadcasting problem

    Only an adult (parental account) can make the changes in privacy settings for a child account. The child account can't perform the changes itself.

    Need help with managing time limit for my son whose gamertag is use my email address

    Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor. I am happy to assist you today.

    Parent and child accounts on Xbox are designed to help parents manage their children’s gaming activities. A parent account is the primary account that can create and manage child accounts. Child accounts are created for children under the age of 18 and are linked to the parent account. The parent account can set up parental controls, such as screen time limits, content restrictions, and spending limits, for each child account.

    You cannot change your account to be a child account. You will have to create a new account for your child.

    To create a child account, the parent account must first create a family group. The family group can have up to six members, including the parent account. Once the family group is created, the parent account can add a child account to the group. The child account will be linked to the parent account and will have access to the parent account’s Xbox Live Gold subscription and other benefits.

    I hope this helps.
