    Family safety and problem with my email being used for Xbox set up


    Hi I set up my sons email Xbox with my email address but wish to set up Microsoft family safety now. Can I create an email address for him and add it as an alias or will this be a conflict with me adding the original email as the family organiser? Or the other idea I was thinking of was to create a new email for myself to be the family organiser or will this cause me issues down the line if settings on the one he is using is only set to age 10 etc. I use the original email as my day to day email.

    :)

    I do use the original email for my 365 subscription also. Will this put any restrictions on it if I have a time limit and age restrictions on the Xbox?

    It shouldn't matter. Your Microsoft 365 subscription should still be fine.

    You're welcome. That's our best option to create a new account as an organizer. Your email should still work as it is.

    Thank you for your patience and time here. Take care!

    Yes my account is an outlook one. That’s what I was afraid of. Might be best to set up a new family organiser then thank you

    Hi there!

    To confirm, is your email address a Microsoft email like @outlook.com, @hotmail.com, etc.? If so, you cannot separate your email from his Xbox profile because it's the same account with your Microsoft account.

    Creating a new email and add it as an alias won't actually separate your account for Family Safety procedure. The solution here is for you to create a new adult account which will act as a family organizer. You will have to add your main account as a member of the family so your new account can manage its privacy settings or family safety features. No worries because that won't affect how you send/receive emails. Please note that you're still using the same account with your son.
