    My child’s account shows “Couldn’t start you game streaming session” Unable to connect to server. Please try again. Samsung TV Xbox app with Fortnite. My account is fine. Any thoughts?

    Hello Mark Rieger1,



    Greetings!



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    It seems that your child is experiencing issues with game streaming using his account. Let us help you by addressing your concern timely.



    The reason why there is an error in streaming while using your son's account it is because child accounts are not allowed to stream. Make sure you’re signed in to an adult account. You can check the information provided in this link: Why can’t I live stream my game? | Xbox Support

    We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



    Sincerely,

    only the account holder, the account that actually pays the bill for the subscription, currently has access to cloud services via Game Pass ultimate

    Your son on Fortnite would be accessing the free servers which on weekends are typically overloaded

    Hello Mark Rieger1,

    If you are referring to cloud gaming, then the account should have the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription to have this feature work. My co-moderator is correct that only the account who has active subscription can play the game in the cloud.

    You may check this article here: All about Xbox Game Pass Ultimate | Xbox Support

    Thanks for your understanding.
