I’m trying to set up a child account on Steam for my son so I can control what he plays, but when I go into the Family settings I don’t see a clear option to create one-just family sharing and parental controls for an existing account. Do I need to make a separate Steam account first and then link it, or is there a way to create a child account directly from my own account?
Hey louis33! You’re right, Steam doesn’t have a direct “create child account” button like some platforms. What you’ll want to do is set up a separate, standard Steam account for your son, and then use Steam’s ‘Family View’ feature on that account to apply parental controls and restrict games.
