    I set up an account for my 6 year old son to play on a Minecraft server I set up for us. He would play on the Nintendo Switch, and I on my PC using the Xbox Launcher. I created him a Microsoft Live account, and set his information appropriately. When I went to sign him into that account on the Switch I was informed Multiplayer is disabled.

    I followed through to general support, who offered me to change his age in order to allow multiplayer. I did so, and I still can't play the game on our sever on the Switch. How can I log him in?

    That said, how is it that in 2025 there is no family support to allow me to control my sons access online without changing his age? That seems like a pretty careless way to run safety.

    :)

    Hi my son is 9 and he is looking for children his age or younger to play Minecraft with.

    My son is 6 years old and loves Minecraft all the time. He also plays Angry Bird games and Plants Vs Zombie games. He's looking for kids to play with. He has a mic and loves to talk... a lot, but he's a very sweet kid. He does not cuss and is your normal
    6 year old boy. :) Please add him (he uses my account), my gamer tag is

    How can I allow my 6 year old son, who has an account on Microsoft, play on the Minecraft Realm server I set up for him?

    I have done all the steps listed, and downloaded the app. Settings are correct for my son, and I still have the same issue.

    How can I allow my 6 year old son, who has an account on Microsoft, play on the Minecraft Realm server I set up for him?

    Hi Michael

    Sorry to hear about that, however, please note that Microsoft enforces strict policies regarding child and teen accounts. I would not recommend altering his age solely to enable multiplayer access.

    You would need to add him as a member in a family group by signing in to your account at account.microsoft.com/family Once done, you need to sign in to the privacy settings at https://account.xbox.com/Settings using your own account and enable these settings for him:

    Under Xbox and Windows 10 devices Online safety, ensure that "You can play with people outside of Xbox Live", "You can create and join clubs", "You can add friends" and "You can join multiplayer games" are set to Allow. Scroll down and click submit.

    Under Privacy, "You can see and upload community creations" set it to Everyone and these are optional: "You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text" Allow and "Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites" Everyone. Scroll down and click Submit.

    Then he may need to sign out and sign in again under Settings in-game for the changes to take effect.

    Or, you may simply use the Xbox Family Settings app that you can download here: https://www.xbox.com/apps/family-settings-app to enable his privacy settings.
