Xbox family group

Yes, you can join a family group on Xbox after previously leaving. However, please note that family group features and availability may vary depending on your location and account settings. Below are general steps for joining a family group on Xbox:

Open the guide on your Xbox console by pressing the Xbox button on the controller.

Navigate to the left and select your profile at the top of the guide.

From the drop-down menu, select "Add or Change" under the "Family" section.

You will be presented with different options to join a family group. Select the option that best suits your needs. There may be an option to join an existing family group or to create a new one.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the family group joining process. You may be asked to provide certain information or agree to the household terms and conditions.

Remember that to join a family group, you need to be invited by someone who is already part of the group or who is the administrator of the family group and sends invitations to other accounts.

Hi Elouadghiri H, my name is Rishabh, I hope you are doing great out there. I’m happy to help you with your question.

Please note that the ability to leave a family group may depend on the permissions and roles set by the family organizer. If you do not see the option to leave the family group, it's possible that the family organizer has restricted this action. In that case, you might need to contact the family organizer to request to be removed from the family group.

If you're looking to leave a family group on Xbox, here's how you can do it:

1. From Xbox Console:

Sign in to the Xbox console with the account that is part of the family group.
Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
Navigate to the "Profile & system" tab.
Scroll down to "Settings" and select "Account."
Choose "Family settings."
Select the family member you want to remove from the family group.
Choose "Remove from family."

2. From Xbox Family Settings App:

Download and install the Xbox Family Settings app on your mobile device.
Sign in with the account that is part of the family group.
Open the app and navigate to the "Family" section.
Select the family member you want to remove.
Choose "Remove from family."

3. From Xbox Website:

Go to the Xbox Family Settings website: https://family.microsoft.com/.
Sign in with the account that is part of the family group.
Click on the family member's profile you want to remove.
Select "Remove from family."

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks and regards
Rishabh Sohal

Hello Emanon11,

Welcome to the Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

A child account that is not over the age of majority cannot leave the group on its own.
You need the Family Group organizer to remove the child account from that group.

If you're over the age of majority (for example, 18 in the U.S.), you can remove yourself from your family group by using a Windows device.

On the console, any other organizer in the family group can remove you. To do so, have them follow the steps in the preceding section.

Note If you're the only organizer in a family group that includes child accounts, first remove the member from the family group. After you’ve removed them, add them to another family group so that they can continue using Xbox services.

To remove yourself online:

1. Sign in to your family Microsoft account.Microsoft account
   
2. Under your name, select Leave family.
