Hi @RXShorty I've got it working. For any others with the same problem (which is the Play Store not allowing 18 rated apps like Stadia to be installed, even if the settings for the Childs Account in Family Link are set to allow it)... The solution I used to avoid the age restriction in Play Store is download the Stadia APK from the Play Store, following these instructions: https://www.wikihow.com/Download-an-APK-File-from-the-Google-Play-Store use the https://families.google.com/ site to allow my sons account to Install Apps from Unknown Sources (option is located under the device that is going to be used, not my sons account setting) (note - this option cannot be altered using the app my phone, AFAIK) the device asked if I wanted to allow the browser to install app from unknown sources when I clicked the APK - without step 2 above the device refused to let me proceed previously. Once Stadia was installed, everything worked as expected. Initially, the Stadia app could not add itself to the ChromeCast - a message about not being on the same Wifi network - but after 7 or 8 attempts, it realised it is on the same network and allowed the connection). But now my son's account appears on the Stadia start-up screen next to mine. Hope this helps some others! (to respond to the idea of changing the birthdate of my son: I set him to 13 years old - the same behavior in the Play Store app on the phone - also tried setting him to over 18, but got told Families is only for under 18s).
