Here are a few great ideas on how to use your cross.tv family account:

1. Create a family account by submitting an email address you have access to into the “Enter Email” field on the start page in the upper right corner.
   
   

2. Go to your mailbox and click on the activation link. Note: Check your spam folder, if you don’t find the activation email in your inbox within 15 minutes.
   
   

3. Log into your new family account and use the “invite friends” function to send invitations to all your family members you want to join your new online family network.
   
   

4. Send an invitation to another email address of your own to connect yourself with your family account. You will then have your personal account connected as family member to your family account. Please note that you need a different email address for any new cross.tv account you create. This is because your email address is an alternative username to log in with, which could come handy if you forget your user name.
   
   

5. When inviting family members or friends to join your family network on cross.tv, simply enter their email address (double check for correct spelling) and select the RIGHT RELATIONSHIP TYPE. You can invite family members as ‘Members’ and friends of the family as ‘Friends’. This allows your family account to reflect “who is who” in your family network and it allows you to share certain media, blogs or private forum access with your family members only.
   
   

6. Check with everyone you invited to make sure they understand what it is for, why and how to accept the invitation.
   
   

7. Create and design new pages with text and photos and any information you want to share about your family.
   
   

8. Upload videos and photos and share them with your friends and family members or with your family members only.
   
   

9. Encourage the members and friends of your family network to share their photos and videos as well.

EXPERT TIP: Already have a Facebook and/or Twitter account? Connect it with your cross.tv family account to automatically share certain information with your Facebook friends whenever you publish it to your cross.tv account. You only need to upload something once. Publish it on cross.tv and it will automatically be published in your Facebook and/or Twitter account as well. This way you don’t have to maintain multiple social network accounts!
