    How to set up Xbox live for my childs account


    I want to start an XBox Gold subscription for my childs account so he can use it on his XBOX 360.

    Have tried signing into his account, but said it needs an Adult to change family settings

    Do I put the payment details on mine or my sons account. As usual nowadays nothing is very straight forward or very

    explanatory

    :)

    Can't create family on xbox one 's'

    Xbox S (the interface) can be frustrating until you get completely used to it. Personally I think that's true for all Ux/Ui accounts, but I think the links below might help you in at least the set up process. That said, "connect to service" may mean you
    are literally not connected to the Xbox Live services yet. That could be a WiFi issue, Internet service or an account issue. Can't tell without more information though.

    Sometimes you cannot play multiplayer due to how your Microsoft account is set up!

    Please sign in to account.xbox.com/settings and ensure none of the multiplayer permissions are blocked.

    I also suggest checking the link below, as it has all the steps to take to edit those privacy settings:

    I'm trying to set up an Xbox Live or Microsoft Account (including Realms access for Child Accounts!)

    If you are a child account you will not be granted access to the link above, as it requires an adult account from the family group to change the settings on behalf of you!

    I can't change the privacy and online safety settings!

    Same issue here, there is a working Microsoft family account my son uses on a daily base.

    Trying to change the privay and online setting for that account via the xbox-live portal is not possible.

    reason: the child acccount gamer tag doesn't show up

    any further "how-to" advice is meaningless as there is no account entry to chose from

    How to bring that child account from microsoft family portal to the xbox portal?

    Hello Lenny=best,

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. An adult account will need to be tied to the child account through a family in order to regulate the

    child account settings    . Once the settings are updated for the child account, the child account should be able to redeem the prepaid code for the game. The article entitled

    how to add a child to a family account     contains information on how to set up a family. Be sure to let us know the results!
