How do I add my son back into our family account w/out access to the Xbox console or his email?

Hello Straw,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. You will need access to at least the email. When you send an invite to the account, the invite will go to the child email. Here is a guide for

adding a family member.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Brad

Thanks for the advice.

As myself and my son very likely just play in our PC, not on a console, so may I recap if my understanding is correct l:

1. Claim the game pass key under my own email address in my Microsoft account

2. Through my Microsoft family, my son can share the subscription as my family member

3. Register my xBox account same email as my Microsoft account email which claimed the game pass

4. In my son's laptop, he also create his xbox account using his email address which is the same as his email in my Microsoft family setting

5. In my son's laptop, somewhere in his xBox setting, add my email as the Microsoft store account. I think it is how his xbox account get access into the game pass.

I will try out how the step 5 when I get the game pass key.

In the meantime, is my understanding correct that if my son login his xbox app and I login my xbox app at the same time in our two computers, both of us can play our own games at the same time?

Is there any limit of xbox account that can add my Microsoft store account?

And is there any limit how many of those accounts can play games at the sane time?

Really appreciate your advice

Cheers

My son has managed to disconnect his xbox account from the family control screen in the xbox. He is now able to look at allsorts of stuff unsuitable for kids through his account. How can I add him back to the parental controls on the xbox. There appears
to be no guide on how to do this?

I need a simple step by step guide explaining how to add a child to the family control on xbox?

Hi - thanks for the reply. So this would effect a family account then - I purchased it on my account but my son cannot access any of the deluxe content on his account which is part of our Xbox family account (if that makes sense!), Is this an issue?

[...]I had to create an email account for my son to do this. Why can't you just use his gametag name to identify him? So it didn't work and trouble shooting said something about having him sign in with his account?? But when he signs in, it only
asks for his password, not an email address. How do I get this to work????

What console are you using?

The reason why your son needs his own e-mail address is, because the system is based on a person's Microsoft Account. By having the settings on the Microsoft Account, the screen time limits are enforced on EVERY device your son signs in, be it his own Xbox
console, a Windows 10 PC, his friends console where he goes to visit and so on.

By having the parental settings applied to his Microsoft Account email, these settings roam with your kid wherever he signs in to use the device.

This page here explains how to properly add an account to a Xbox One console.

Make sure your son's account was added to your own parent account. You can check that, by signing in with YOUR parent account on
