Set up Xbox with parent email. Can child view my documents?

memememe410 · Dec 28, 2020

I set up our xbox with my personal email address. This is my main address that i use for everything and also the address that is linked to my microsoft account which stores all of my documents.

Can my child see my documents on the xbox?

If i change the email address to a different one will she lose her in game purchases?

Can I change the email address and remove my email completely from the xbox which is what i need to do?

Thanks.

Hi

Thanjs for the reply, the problem is i have already set up the child account but i used my email address by mistake.

No worries, I know this stuff can be confusing, but you can make any account safe for child by setting parental controls which control what games can be played and what content can be viewed. Before giving up I suggest looking at the full information here:

If you have registered a child account, only the parental account can change the privacy settings for viewing content or playing online.

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.
