Unable to change parental settings for child's minecraft account

Hello LuSena,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. We understand that your niece is unable to receive messages or invites from you to your Minecraft world. Is your account the parent account to her child account? Can you confirm that the changes are still in
tact in her privacy/security settings? You may need to adjust them again. Please note that only the parent account can make changes to a child accounts privacy settings.

Xbox One online safety and privacy settings for parents and kids

If you need to change your online and privacy settings in order to play Minecraft on a realm or servers, you'll have to go to
https://account.xbox.com/settings.

There you can then make the necessary settings.

If you don't see a table with settings, but a page explaining how to add a child account to a parent account, you have a child account.

In that case, your parents have to add your child account to their adult parent account at
https://account.microsoft.com/family if not already done so.

After your account was added to your parent's family account, the parent has to go to https://account.xbox.com/settings and sign in with their parent account. Then they select
your child account and make the necessary changes for you.

I already changed the privacy settings for me and my child but still unable to do multi-player.

it keeps on taking us back to “change your account settings”!

what else can I do??

Hey Jewker

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are experiencing difficulties with being able to play Minecraft on your PS4 because of how your account is set-up.

The message you are receiving, only appears if you are attempting to play online and your Xbox Live settings are not correctly configured.

In order to play online, you will need to change your
Xbox Live privacy and online settings. However, if you are unable to configure your account yourself, it is likely that you may have a Child account, and if this is the case, you will have no choice but to have the parent account make these changes for
you. You will be unable to play online if you are unable to configure these changes on your account.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

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.

Are you changing the settings on the console itself, or are you using
https://account.xbox.com/settings on the web?

Are you trying to change the settings directly with the child account, or did you add the child account to your parent account at
https://account.microsoft.com/family and then signed in with the parent account on https://account.xbox.com/settings and
tried to change the settings of the child account with your parent account?
