    Xbox family settings, parent/child account


    Just signed in to my xbox about 15 mins ago to find i cant play any of my age restricted game. It turns out my one and only account that is signed in the this console is now a child account. I have tried to manage family settings however it doesnt seem
    to be working. Anyone got any answers or had the same issue?

    :)

    How do I make it so my child can stream on Xbox series s when hes old enough but it says it will be disabled

    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.

    Xbox 1 parent account

    Hello

    You can change the parent account from the family settings on the xbox console and add the account as a child to a new parent account

    Won't let me add my son to my account

    be sure to check who the parent is of the other child account. because if the parent accnt is not yours you first need to remove that child account from the parent accnt by signing in with the parent account and going into the family settings and removing
    him. once removed he should be able to be added to your family. or try using the child accnts parent credentials to add to the family pack.

    Still have a Xbox Child account - I changed it years ago?

    Hi

    If your account was before a Child account as a part of a Family Group, You'll have to add yourself again into a Family as a Child account. You must use another account as Parent, then after you add your account as Child, you make the privacy changes in
    your account through the Parent account. Afterwards; you can remove your account from the Family.

    If you don't have another account to make it as Parent, you must create a new one.

    The Parent account is Organizer , the Child account is a
    Member


    Add a member to Family Group

    Remove a member from a Family Group

    On the verge of a nervous breakdown!

    Is this other account a child account? You'll get that error if it has a parental account over it. You can check for sure by signing into the gamertag, to to settings > privacy and change settings. Doesn't matter what to, really, but you might want to look
    at what is was set to first. If you attempt to change a child account's setting, it'll ask for the parental account's password.

    If this pops, the account is child and needs to be removed from the parental account before you can add it to the family pack.

    To separate the child and parent, you have to download the parent account, go to the family center and choose the account you are trying to add. Remove from family, and then you can log back into the primary family account and add the account you want.
