I was flat out unable to use the family sharing feature of YouTubeTV. Support from gooogle was helpful but they didn’t have much to offer in the way of a workaround. They researched it and basically told me to get gmail accounts for everyone in my family or share my google account with my kids (!!!). Interestingly, I asked if I switched email providers if my account would revert to one that would allow family sharing. They couldn’t guarantee it.

When I setup a Chromebook (without enterprise activation) about 18 months ago, I ended up with an individual Google account for my free-tier GSuite email address. I'm not sure if it was a Chromebook thing, a Chrome profile thing, or a problem between by Chromebook and my chair!

Google home calendar integration :(
