Adding Child Account

Does anyone have any information on how to add a child xbox live account? It requires parental permission and informs me to create the account on xbox.com, but I don't see anything on the site to create the account.

Need answered question.

It works...but is there a way to attach an existing childs account, who dropped his original parental account to an existing parental account?

EDIT, sorry for taking so long!

Hello,

Thanks for the support message.

Please go to
account.microsoft.com/family and then sign into your account. Once you sign in, click "Add a Child" If your child already has an account, you can type in the email there to send an invite to your child. If your child doesn't have an account yet, click
"Create a new email address for your child" and you will then be taken to a page to fill out your child info.

Should you have any other concerns, feel free to post back.

Cheers!

Hello,

Thanks for the support message.

Please try going to http://account.live.com/ and click on "Family" and see if that will work. You may also wanna try using a different browser or computer if possible.

Hello Antoine,

If there is not currently a parent account in existence, it would be best to create one, and then follow our
Add a new member to your family on Xbox One as well as our
How to add a child to a family account
for specifics on adding a child account.

Try these for us and let us know if this works.

Best wishes!

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.
