3 Consoles, 1 Live membership

SideoftheMoon · Dec 24, 2019

I have see multiple threads regarding having just 2 xboxes shared on one account. My question is how do I throw in a 3rd? My wife has the "home" console. I have the Live Gold membership and we have been sharing just fine. Recently bought my daughter another
S for the toyroom but how do I get her to utilize the family gold membership without messing up the other two. At the moment, I have to sign in my live membership for her to play anygame, I dont have to stay signed in just login once and shes "unlocked" until
she logs off again. I want to use my xbox at the same time but then it will boot her off, I wonder if this is a game specific issue, because it seems to be mostly with ROBLOX(ugh i hate that game). She can still use all the other services and other games.

Xbox One X - Live Membership

Upstairs One S - Home Console

Downstairs One S - Trying to connect

Am I missing something in the setup?

Nevermind I finally found a thread that answers this question.

Hello,

It's quite simple from the way they have explained it. 1 Xbox Live Gold Membership is required for anyone on a singular (1) Xbox One console. Your master account can only be active on 1 Xbox One at a time.

So unfortunately, if you plan on getting 3 Xbox One's and you wish for people to be able to simultaneously play on Xbox LIVE on all of them you'll need to get 3 Gold Memberships (one for each Xbox One). Once that's actually activated, you can have a multitude
of people play on the console online and anyone that signs into that console (gold member or not) will have a gold membership activated while they are on that console.

If you have a new console you are allotted 3 x 1 month free trials (only 1 per gamertag). These are given by creating a gamertag on the console and then choosing Join Live from the dashboard. You will be given the option of signing up for a gold membership
or not.

When you choose the option not to sign up for a membership you will be given your 1 month trial.

Unless there's a code in the box for the 3 months it means that you get 3 x 1 month free XBOX Live memberships with every new XBOX 360. You need to actually make a new XBOX Live account on the console and go through the steps of making an XBOX Live account.
Once you do, it will offer you a free 1 month gold membership. Remember that this is only done by making an account on the console. If you've already made an account you would need to re-make the account with another e-mail from the console itself.

How long was the membership for? 1, 3, 6 or 12 months? Or was it a trial membership of 48 hours or 1 week?

I'm thinking that you may have added a trial membership as your gamertag is showing as silver.

If it was a trial membership then it is not a gold membership and only gives limited access to activities on the console.
