Windows 10: How do I receive requests from a member of my Family Safety group?

I have asked my son, who is part of my Microsoft Family Group, to friend me on Minecraft. He plays the game on a Windows PC and I play on a Playstation 5. However, when he submits the friend request in the Minecraft game, he gets a pop up that says he needs to get approval from the organizer of his family group, which is me. The last Microsoft technician I chatted with said I needed to add myself to the Family Safety group, which I was already a member of.

Family Organizer Leaving Family Group

Hello Lee Wilfert,

Glad to see you in Microsoft Community.

• If Mother was the administrator of the Family Group, you can exit the Family Group directly, and Mother will automatically become the Family Group organizer.
  
  If you want to stay in the Family Group, you need to rejoin, either as an administrator or as a regular Family Group member.
  
  Visit Getting started with Microsoft Family Safety for more details.
  

• If Mother was already a member of the Family Group, you need to remove her from the Family Group, then add it again, and need to select "Administrator" when selecting the role.
  

Meanwhile, you can dissolve the Family Group, and then let the new organizer send an invitation to re-establish the Family Group. Visit Leave family group or remove members (microsoft.com) for more details.

If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

I want to add member to family group in windows 10

Hello,

This is Sudha Independent Advisor and user like you. Please follow below steps to solve your issue

-Add someone in the Family Safety app

If you already have a family group created and sign in to the Microsoft Family Safety app, they'll appear automatically. To add more family members, or add some after you create a family:

Sign in to Family Safety with your Microsoft account.

Tap Add someone at the bottom of your home screen.

Enter a phone number or email address to invite someone, or create a new email and account for them (like if they're a child).

Decide if you want them to be an Organizer or a Member, then send the invite.

-

family.microsoft.com

Add someone on the web

We'll email or text an invitation to each person you want to add and they'll need to accept to join the family group. If you're adding an account for a young child, you can set up an email address and monitor it.

To add someone to your family group:

Go to family.microsoft.com.

Sign in with your Microsoft account, then select Add a family member.

Select Member or Organizer.

Enter an email address or phone number for the person you want to add, then select Send invite.

Note

If the person you're adding is already part of another family group, they'll first need to be removed from that family group, or they'll need a new Microsoft account for your family group.

Have the person you invited accept your invitation from the email or text message they receive. Or, in the Notifications section, select Accept now next to Pending member. You'll be signed out so the person you're trying to add can sign in to their account
and accept the invitation.
