    1 xbox account on 2 Xboxes troubleshooting?


    My son has 2 xboxes, (1 xbox one at my house & a xbox one S at his mothers).

    I created my own account which I used to subscribe to XBox live, he has his own account but with my account being on the same console he can use Xbox live....is this correct?

    The same account I created I have added to his other console and he used the same method to play Xbox live on that console also which was working fine at first.

    But just within the last couple of days he has told me that he cant connect to Live and all it says is "get more with live gold" or something like that.

    I am unable to get access to his console so im after a few tips on what it could be thats stopping it from working so I can pass this onto my son to try.

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    cheers

    :)

    He can use your gold subscription because you have one of the consoles set as your Home console. He can only access your gold on that console. He would need his own gold subscription in order to use gold on any console.

    But I came across the same problem when he first got the new console at his mothers house.

    I added my account to that console then he was able to use Xbox live on both consoles until now? How could this have been possible?

    Follow-up questions:

    1. What Xbox app are you having issues on? Is it the Console Companion app or the Xbox (beta) app?

    2. What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    Xbox Live Gold - Multiple Accounts (subscription issue)

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for posting how you have it set right now. Xbox #2 you will need to set account #1 as home. Then account #2 will be able to access this content on that console. On Xbox #1, account #1 will be able to access all the content, but account #2 will not
    be able to on Xbox #1. So best way to make this work is whoever plays on account #2 will play on Xbox #2 and whoever uses account #1 will play on Xbox #1.

    Hope this clarifies it little better.

    Brad
