Hi ElectricFox01,
Thanks for posting into our forum. We noticed you're having some problems using the Link app as it says it's blocked, and we'd like to try and help out! So if this is in regards to a parent managed account for a user between the age of 10-12 (or 10-13 in Spain, South Korea or Quebec), this account will be unable to access Link features as this has been intentionally cut off until users are 13 (or 14 years old in South Korea, Spain, or Quebec) in order to keep our younger users safe from any harmful content.
If the account in question falls into the approved age group of your region and is still being supervised by a parent account, the issue may be that the access hasn't been granted yet for the user to start using their account on the Link app. In order to change this, you'll be able to access the parental settings on the supervising account and you'll see a setting to approve access for the Quest Link.
Hopefully this information helps you out and if approving access to the Link app still results in the account being blocked from access, please let us know and we'll be more than happy to investigate further!
Acknowledging I misread the response. Can't seem to remove my comment, so replacing it with this. Still find the concept that they're intentionally "protecting" our child from accessing our own home PC that they can already access to be weird as heck, but intentionally blocked is intentionally blocked.
Hi eviltwin42​ 🙂
maybe you misunderstand something?
The people in this thread are talking about chilld(10-12) accounts and MetaStoreHelp​ clearly stated that those accounts are blocked from using the link app.
So if this is in regards to a parent managed account for a user between the age of 10-12 (or 10-13 in Spain, South Korea or Quebec), this account will be unable to access Link features as this has been intentionally cut off until users are 13 (or 14 years old in South Korea, Spain, or Quebec) in order to keep our younger users safe from any harmful content
You might be able to connect a child(10-12) account to pc using steam link, but not with the Meta Horizon link app.
It's free.
