Same EA account for Apex Legends on PC and Xbox

Ok - trying to confirm I can use my same EA account for my Xbox and PC to play Apex w/my daughter at the same time and squad up together.

I just spoke with EA Help, and they said that yes, I should attach my EA account (that we use on my Xbox for Apex) to the one on my PC (that I'll be using). EA Help stated that this should work.

Can anyone confirm this works before I go through and link my Steam and my PC to my EA account?

Thanks!

     I have an xbox and a laptop both connected to the same account, but I don't know about playing them both at the same time. 

    It might be easier to set up a seperate account for your daughter, maby on the xbox with all the parental safety stuff switched on. No unknown persons chat or text chat. Perhaps set up your own club. If you both play in the same room then communication would be easy. 

    Cross progression may come to apex at some stage in the future and that may cause you an issue, using the same account on 2 platforms. 

    Coincidentally I learned from my son this evening that he has to switch off the chat/text chat each match manually on the pc. I have always insisted that he did not talk to other players he did not know irl.

    Thanks @OldTreeCreeper 

    My daughter plays on the Xbox and also has to manually mute the teams she joins into. It'd be nice if you could set that to auto-mute in the Apex Legend overall settings.

    She did create a club, so I'll see if she can invite my new EA account into it. Hopefully that'll work for our comms.

    Last but not least, and I feel bad repeatedly asking this, but setting up a new account with EA won't cause any issues w/Apex right? I want to make sure I don't set this up and then get my EA account banned or something. Seems like there are lot of players on this forum who had their accounts banned.

    @JuiceRocket I play sound through my tv speakers and there's no need to mute, as no mic involved. 

    On my xbox I have my apex account, my son's apex account and my daughters apex account.   Same emails etc, and can be played by them, just none of their cosmetics nor main progression. 

    They have their own accounts on their own platforms, a pc and a switch, with their cosmetics and main progression. 

    So it's OK to have 2 seperate accounts on an xbox, 3 even.

    Accounts are usually banned for cheating or breaking the tos.
