I'm confused and overwhelmed about what to do, and in what order. Help appreciated! Here's what I'm trying to do: I want to give Stadia to my two kids and share my kid-appropriate Stadia games with them. They'll be playing it only on a Chromecast Ultra on their TV. Here's the current situation: I have: My Stadia Pro Account My own Stadia controller A TV for me Kid-appropriate Stadia games I want to share Two other Stadia controllers, one for each kid A separate TV for them, already set up. It's an older HDTV w/ no Android TV or Google TV or Stadia "app" in it. A Chromecast Ultra I currently play Stadia on my TV with. I'll remove this CU from my TV, give the CU to them, and attach it to their TV. Not yet existing: Personal Google accounts for the kids A Google Family The kids' Google accounts being part of my Google Family Family Link being set up The kids being in Family Link too (if that is not redundant to being in Google Family) The kids having Stadia accounts The Chromecast Ultra being set up with their Stadia accounts, and my account either being deleted or PIN-protected so they can't switch to my account and play grownup games A new device for my TV to play Stadia games on (and maybe also Android and GeForce Now games) -- like a CCwGTV, Onn Android TV, Shield TV etc My questions: If they're only going to use their personal Google accounts for Stadia on the Chromecast, and play games that I'm sharing with them via the Google Family, do still I need to set up Family Link? If so, is the only way for me to set up Family Link (other than giving them their own Android devices) to use my Android phone and set up new User Profiles on it for them, even if they'll never actually use my phone or their accounts on it? If don't need Family Link for this scenario of only having the kids use Stadia and the CC Ultra, do I STILL need to set up Family Link so I have the option of changing my mind later about giving them an Android device or personal Chromebook etc Google Play Pass, Google Play Movies to share with them etc., and them still be able to use the same Google accounts as before? What order do I do things in? I'm worried that if I create their Google accounts first before there's a Google Family, or set up a Google Family before a Family Link, etc I won't be able do it later. Thanks! I really appreciate any help I can get. I actually got them the Stadia controllers back at Christmas but I've never set it all up for them yet for various reasons, partly from it being so complicated and overwhelming.
