Family Group Sharing

sgriffith03 — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 21:20:37 GMT

Hello,

Is it possible to share my Stadia Pro account with my grandchildren (under 13 years old) who already belong to a Family Group monitored by their parents? Can the kids belong to more than one Family Group?

Thank you for any help or advice.

You can't be in more than one Google Family as under the requirement it states "Not be part of another family group."

If they are your grandchildren, see if their parents can add you to the family they're already in.

Hello @sgriffith03,

I am afraid a user can only be joined to one family.

There is also a restriction that if you leave a family you cannot join a different family within a year. Please note that this is a thing before just "switching" families.

Argh. Amazon does this too, with their Prime service. I get why companies do this (probably to avoid some kind of abuse) but there certainly are legitimate cases where you would want or need to move family members around a group.

@Samas you can always try contacting support and explain the sitution.

A friend of my did fix it with support after explaining he joined my family to check the options out before starting his own.
He joined only for a few hours...
