Endless problems trying to use multiplayer stadia

I have spent forever trying to get my son and I in a same game in stadia. I bought studia 3 months ago, have a PhD in computer science, own a half dozen gaming systems and this is a nightmare!

I have given my son an account on google. I have given him an account in stadia. But when I create the account I can't get past the offer for pro. There is no skip button!

My son does not live with me so I don't want to pay for subscription that we will rarely use, I won't get the emails for, etc. A normal piece of software would have a skip button.

How can I add my son to the Chromecast on my TV so we can play Terraria together? 

I have seen many posts about couch gaming, but none of them have really been helpful to get me past this issue. This is a trivial thing to do on Terraria on the PC or any of the games on my Xbox or any of my PlayStations. I should have had this done 3 months ago but I guess those systems go through testing of normal scenarios that stadia never considered.

Hello @drdaveg 

There is a way to skip the Pro subscription with a account.
You have to play a free to play game with the account like Destiny 2: https://stadia.google.com/games/destiny-2 
All free games can be found here: https://stadia.google.com/u/1/store 

Please note that you can create a Stadia Family to share games between the accounts. 
If you want to play a game twice at the same time in the family you have to buy the game twice.:slightly_smiling_face:
