3 Xbox consoles how to make it work

You would either just purchase a Live subscription on one of your kid's accounts or create a new account and purchase Live on that account. Then have that account set one of the console's as its Home console to share the subscription. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

You would set another console as your Home in order to share your subscription on that console and then you can continue to sign in and use the third console.

As long as you remember log-in information, you can remove accounts from consoles without losing anything.

You can setup a second subscription on the console or website. Whichever is easiest for you. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-profile/manage-account/sign-in

Yes, you can sign into your account on any console you want. Since you bought Live on your account, it's tied to your account so you can sign in and use it anywhere. Even without Live, you can sign into your account and use your account on any console. So yes, if you wanted to go to a friend's house, you could sign in on your account to play there (you would just want to make sure you sign out before leaving).

Ok, thank you fo the detailed response. What is the best way to setup the second live memebership? On the console? I believe i was prompted to setup a live account when i did inital setup.

Also are you saying as long as i remember login that i could techically sign into my account from any xbox, it does not have to be on my live account? Ex: i could go to a friends house and log into my account on his console?

Awesome. My plan is to create an xbox live account under daughter and and make my “sons” xbox home on that account. That way she can stay signed in on “her” xbox and son would not have to do anything to use his Would i be able to have all 3 gamertags his/hers/mine on all 3 consoles and just have to sign in when prompted if we all wanted to play a multiplayer game?

Well, get this....I got to it but completely roundabout way. I found my game buried in the Achievements window in the old Xbox Console app.

1. Click on Achievements.

2. Click the game in the list of Achievements.

3. Then click Info.

4. Then can select Play from Console if Xbox is turned on.

How ridiculous. The Beta app doesn't work and is inferior to the Console app anyway so I'm just going to use the Console app until they retire it. Hopefully, they figure out how to make the Beta app work.
