== General Tips & Tricks ==

* Make sure accounts you create are not tied to any specific employee, that way you are planning for potential staffing changes. This could be creating a Gmail or Outlook accounts to use as your core accounts or working with your IT to generate a number of accounts that can be accessed by anyone on your team
* Use the "+" trick to sign up for multiple accounts using he same email address so you can easily manage lots of account
** <nowiki>joe@gmail.com</nowiki>  is the same email address as <nowiki>joe+xbox1@gmail.com</nowiki> which is also the same email as <nowiki>joe+panda5@gmail.com</nowiki>.
** Outlook email addresses can also be used for individual console accounts and are automatically associated with Microsoft/Xbox services. The Outlook account acts the same way any other email address would and can be used to create other gaming platform accounts (Epic, PlayStation, Nintendo, etc.).
