How does the Friends and Family plan work?
There are parties to the Friends and Family subscription plan, the primary account holder. He is responsible for payments and is the only member able to add other users to the group subscription. While the primary member can add or remove secondary members from the group.
To become the primary account holder, you must join with friends and family through the Microsoft Digital Store. Once you join, you can manage group members on the Services and Subscriptions page and add as many members as you want.
