    2 Accounts on 1 Xbox Gold


    I have 2 Xbox accounts on different emails, i bought xbox gold for one and wanted it on both, do I need to have the same email on the accounts so they can both play live? If so how do I change the email.

    :)

    PSA, free xbox live.

    Remember every xbox gets 2 or 3 free accounts with xbox live gold for 1 month. So if you don't want to shell out the dollars but want to play online for a certain game that's a good option!

    How to Turn off auto renewal or cancel Xbox LIVE membership

    How to turn off auto renewal

    It is recommended that you cancel your Xbox LIVE Gold Membership using the option of turning off automatic renewal. If auto renewal is "off", your membership will expire at the end of its current term.

    Steps to follow:

    1) If you are not already signed in, click Sign In at the upper right hand corner and sign in using your Microsoft account.

    2) Proceed to My Account.

    3) Click Change next to automatic renewal. Change the setting to OFF

    You will be able to continue enjoying all the benefits of Xbox LIVE Gold Membership until your paid membership time expires.

    Note:

    If you want to cancel or disable your Xbox LIVE Gold Membership immediately, you should contact Xbox support. Use the Request a Call from Support option on the official Xbox Contact Us page. Your account cannot be canceled through chat or email.

    If you disable your account immediately, you will lose the time remaining on your membership subscription.

    If you are on a 2 Year Xbox LIVE Gold Contract, and you want to cancel before the end of the 2 years, you will be charged an Early Termination Fee and other applicable taxes. Once the two-year agreement period is over, your account will not be renewed automatically.

    You can cancel the 2 Year Xbox LIVE Gold Contract using the option of self-cancel your subscription on Xbox.com

    2 Accounts on 1 Xbox Gold

    You can share the gold by making the console your Gold Accounts home xbox or by being logged on with the Gold account on the same console. If you actually want a Gold membership on both accounts then you will to purchase two Gold memberships.

    Hope this helps. Good luck!!

    As Genesis stated, the account with gold needs to set the console as it's Home console. Then you will be able to share the gold.

    Xbox Live Gold - Multiple Accounts (subscription issue)

    Based on what you described earlier, Account 1 owns all the content. So, with that in consideration:

    Anyone who signs into Xbox #1 can play any content that Account 1 owns and use its Gold subscription, even if Account 1 is signed in elsewhere.

    When Account 1 is signed into Xbox #2, anyone can play that content or use that subscription, but if Account 1 signs into another console, even Xbox #1, that access on Xbox #2 is lost.

    If Account 2 wants to be able to access Xbox Live Gold features, it will either need to (1) sign into Xbox #1 or (2) have its own Gold subscription on Xbox #2.

    Xbox Live Gold - Multiple Accounts (subscription issue)

    Hi,

    I would like to confirm what Brad just said above. account 1(which has live gold subscription) sets up xbox#1 as the home console. and account 2 is set up as the main account for xbox#2 but the home console is xbox#1. if account 1 is signed in on xbox
    #2 and account 2 is signed in on xbox #1. will xbox #1 will be able to have access to live gold? I hope I explained my question well enough.

    xbox live gold subscription family sharing for three console

    You would need at least 2 subscriptions for 3 consoles. You can only share gold on 1 console at a time, the Home console. So if you have Account 1, Account 2, and Account 3. Account 1 could have gold and sets Console 1 as it's Home console, all 3 accounts
    can share gold on that console. Account 1 can then sign into any other console and still use gold because it's tied to that account. Account 2 or 3 would need to have gold and set one of the other consoles as their Home console in order to share gold on that
    console. Then either of the 2 gold accounts can use the 3rd console.

    Xbox Gold Pass for 2 consoles

    No, you only need one account to have gold. Account 1 should have Gold, and have one of the consoles set as their home console. This will be the console Account 2 uses, as it will now be able to use Account 1's gold.

    Account 1 will sign in and play on Console 2.
