Windows 10: Allow Child to play Minecraft with Family Win10

How can I let my child play Minecraft using using their child account setup using Microsoft Family.

I have purchased, downloaded, and installed Minecraft using my (parent) account. Its through my Xbox username.

We do not own a XBox console. Not sure if that matters.

Minecraft is not available under my child's Microsoft account. I don't even see options to allow it in Microsoft Family.

Has anybody successfully set this up for their child?

Hi,

A Parent account can manage or control the Child account's privacy and online safety settings online. To change or remove the restrictions on your child's profile, you may follow the steps below:

• Sign in to your account on the
  Xbox account settings page.
• Select the gamertag of the child account which you want to edit.
• Go to the Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety.
• Set Join multiplayer games to Allow.
• Save your settings.

Make sure that the restrictions are also removed from the
Microsoft Family page.

• Sign in to your account and look for the child account's email address.
• Click on Content restrictions.

If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reply to this post anytime.

Minecraft purchase in Windows Store not allowing install on second family user / second computer.

Hi,

Digital game licenses are associated to the Microsoft account used to purchase the game. To download and install the game on the child account, you'll need to sign in to the Windows 10 PC using the child's profile, and then sign in to the Windows Store app
using the parent account. Here are the steps:

• On the Windows 10 PC, sign in using the child's account, and then launch Windows Store.
  
• At the upper part beside the Search box, click the account picture.
• Click the profile, and then click Sign out.
• Click again the user icon next to the search box, and then click Sign in.
• Select Microsoft account.
• Enter the email address and password of the parent account.
• Click Sign in.
• Install the game.

After installing the game, restart the device so that the changes can take effect. Sign in using the child's profile on Windows 10. Access the game and see if it works.

If the child account can't access the game, we suggest checking the privacy settings of the child account. See Set up
family features on Windows 10 for the steps. You'll need to allow the profile to play the game online.

We also recommend checking if the child account is set to allow apps and games. To do so, kindly sign in to this

link using the parent account. See if Block inappropriate apps and games is off.
