    <description>G Suite accounts can be deleted and so to would your Stadia account. It's really not a big deal to make a separate Gmail that takes about five minutes to set up.</description>

      <title>G Suite &amp; Stadia Insanity</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="95FDF7C7-7667-428C-ACB3-19188EE40755.jpeg" style="width: 1242px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.stadia.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/557i1AE7E722B3995900/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="95FDF7C7-7667-428C-ACB3-19188EE40755.jpeg" alt="95FDF7C7-7667-428C-ACB3-19188EE40755.jpeg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wanted to express a frustration regarding Stadia that I feel isn’t getting much publicity (maybe because my situation is pretty niche, but still). The fact that I can’t use my G Suite account with Stadia is insane. Yes, I know they mentioned this before, but I still can’t believe that it’s not supported, and it may be a dealbreaker for me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I’ve actually been really excited for Stadia, and even though I got my code late, I didn’t mind waiting a bit longer. Despite negative press, I really wanted to believe in a streaming future and I’m fully bought-in to Google’s ecosystem. I figured if anyone could pull this off, it’s Google.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In fact, I’m so bought into the ecosystem that I use a G Suite account as my personal gmail account. I mainly do this for a custom domain as part of my Google account, but I also enjoy the admin tools for managing my household (family), custom and unlimited google groups, lots of storage, the list goes on. It’s been great, I love G Suite, it’s made using other Google apps a breeze and I get everything I could possibly want out of having a custom domain with my Google account.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Until Stadia.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yesterday, I got my code and excitedly downloaded the app. Like many of you, I was just extremely ready to jump in and give Stadia a shot after waiting for my code. Immediately, I was met with a message that made my heart drop (image above): "Choose a different Google account".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I haven’t used a personal gmail account in several years, and the one I did have was cringe and I wanted to avoid that username as much as possible. Unsure what to do, I created a new quick Google account using my common in-game username as the address (@gmail.com). As I went to do Stadia set up again, I got kindly reminded by the app that I would never be able to change my linked Google account once I set up Stadia. Great, so I was committing to this bogus Google account I created in seconds just because I wanted to use Stadia so bad, instead of the account I use for every other Google app (and many aspects of my life) and have used for years (Complete with a nice [gaming@mydomain.com](mailto:gaming@mydomain.com) alias that I thought would be perfect for this moment).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After committing, so much of the excitement about Stadia, and the fact that Stadia is another Google product, was gone. It didn’t even work with the account that I use for the rest of Google. I realized that now, every time I wanted to use Stadia, I would have to switch accounts away from my main Google account, use my new bogus one, then switch back when I was done.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I completely fail to understand why Stadia wouldn’t work with another Google service, especially one that people pay for. Again, I know they were transparent about this so I shouldn’t be surprised, but even though they announced this in advance, I still feel a bit betrayed and deflated. I was willing to overlook every other Stadia complaint just because I trusted Google and was a bit of a fanboy, but I now I feel like this product isn’t even made for users like me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Adding the extra step, as well as the detachment from the account I use for the rest of Google services, may be what stops me from using Stadia, especially in light of an already rocky launch. Especially since my desired username that I got the founders pack for is now linked to a random account I created in a moment just so I could jump in as fast as possible.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Be warned other G Suite users! Despite this issue, I still will be trying it more over the next few days (and my initial impressions were good, this problem aside), and I hope many of you are able to enjoy.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I can understand that you would love to play Stadia with a G Suite account. Guess though that Google didn't made it available at launch, because G Suite accounts are normally for businesses and therefore it could be more important for Google to bring Stadia for the private Google accounts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you're lucky, it will be available for G Suite soon, but in the helpcenter Google mentioned from the very beginning that Stadia is not for G Suite. Wish you the best though.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I hope that this does change, and if it does, I hope that they allow me to retroactively change accounts to use my G Suite account with my username instead. Sure, G Suite is intended for business, but it’s also the only way to use a Google account with a custom domain or efficiently in a household, which I find quite valuable even as an individual.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The G Suite account and compatibility with various services is not an uncommon issue and one I don't expect to be changed for Stadia any time in the near future.&amp;nbsp; The people at Google are aware that G Suite users do want more universal parity in service access with personal accounts, though, so it may happen one day.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am in the same situation. Also don't forget that you can't use anything Google Home with a gsuite account (not really, not fully anyway). Seems like Google really hates people who pay for their products. It is such a weird problem.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I use GSuite and it does make it very clear from the offset before you order that GSuite is not supported. Not sure why it's a surprise then...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hmm, I have a andreas@familydomain.com Google account but I guess that's not the same as Gsuite? Never looked in to it honestly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I read that Google didn't allow this because if a buissiness closed or changed their email-provider the account disappears. Makes sense, but it must suck for your situation!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Edit:couldn't see the latest comments for some reason...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I've also got the same issue.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regular free Google accounts can be deleted on demand, so I don't see why that would prevent Google from enabling Stadia for G Suite accounts...&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;a href="https://community.stadia.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/10230"&gt;@Northlight&lt;/a&gt; have an email account on another domain than Gmail and create you Google account without creating a new Gmail. Only downside being that you can't use Gmail web-ui for email, if your into that.</description>

      <description>As a Gsuite admin, it would be insane to allow Gsuite accounts. I have 200 odd gsuite accounts, all of which I could revoke access to in less than a minute. These accounts for the most part are temporary accounts. Stadia is non transferable, there for it makes no sense for the majority of their market. There a few small pockets of users that it might make sense for, but then their Stadia access is behind two different layers and is dependent upon the first layer continuing to pay the subscription fees. Gsuite should not have access to Stadia. Nope not at all. 100% support their decision on this. It was stated from the beginning and has not changed. They can not put a middle man between users and their purchases.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;As a Gsuite admin, I am sure you know about disabling particular google services for your 200 odd gsuite accounts, or your domain.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I've also got the same issue.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Today,&amp;nbsp;Phil Harrison (Vice President and GM, Google Stadia) say: "Anyone who signs up will get two free months of Stadia Pro with instant access to nine games, including GRID, Destiny 2: The Collection, and Thumper".&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;But: "Choose a different Google Account.&amp;nbsp;You can't sign up for Stadia using the organization's account that you're signed in to now. But don’t worry, you can use your existing personal Google Account instead or create one for free".&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I use a paid G Suite with a custom domain and creating a separate Google account for Stadia looks weird.&amp;nbsp;This is Google’s ecosystem: one account for one web service, a second account for a second web service.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am a G Suite admin. I totally agree with the OP. This is why I don't subscribe to Stadia, or YouTube (ad free) or practically anything from Google except storage space, domains and user accounts. I simply do not want the hassle of two accounts. Period. So, I guess the world just have to go on without me having much involvement with Google. I subscribe to Sony, Microsoft, nVidia and Nintendo. They all accepted my G Suite email address without any hassle. Let me repeat that:&amp;nbsp;They all accepted my G Suite email address without any hassle.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Clearly weavernator has no concept of enabling / disabling services at the user level. This whole feature of Stadia not working with G Suite doesn't really surprise me though. Google actively refuses to give paying G Suite customers (many of them personal users) access to a lot of features. Family sharing being one of those main features. All it needs to be is a feature that is disabled by default that admins can turn on per user. Then the arguments of "G Suite accounts are disposable" and "the data is managed by the organization" just go out the window because it is in the hands of the admin to manage, not Google to worry about. Oh also, stop advertising that G Suite accounts are not Google accounts by the way. That's incorrect.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
