    Adding a second account for a family shared second Xbox one


    I bought a second Xbox one console for both my kids and they keep signing the other one out. How do I create a second user or second account but still have Family sharing for my games and downloads.

    :)

    Adding a second console

    You can use the same account on both consoles, but you can only have your gamertag on one console at a time. So you'd either have to recover your account each time or save your profile on a flash drive and switch back and for that way. The flash drive would
    be the best way.

    Changing to parent account

    First please make sure that your account is not added as Child into a Family Group.

    Sign into your account
    here
    , if you find an Organizer account there., that is the parent account and you will have to access to it, to remove yourself from the family group so your account can become adult account and restrictions will be removed.

    If you are not added into a Family Yet, you 'll have to do that by going with the second option I mentioned. You can use any second account you have as Parent (Organizer) to create the Family group , so you can add your current account as Child,
    then make the privacy changes, after you're done, you remove yourself from the Family through the Parent account.

    If you don't have a second account I suggest that you create one.

    Adding a second Xbox One

    So you can play 1 game on all 3 xbox's? Do you have everyone set up under the family plan for the main gamertag? I had 2 xbox's made the kids Xbox my home and they had no problem playing the games. But now I have three and I can't seem to get the same
    game to play on the old one that use to ve mine without me signing in. How did you fix it? Help

    Adding a second Xbox One

    Very good information, thank you. I would assume I'm correct also in saying that there isn't a way to move their save game states over to a new profile. I think I may be in better interest to just pick up a different platform for them, maybe a switch.
    Neither them nor I would want to have to start all our current games over again.

    There is no way of doing this. Sorry. They would have to start again. But if you stay with the idea of getting a second Xbox, at least they can still use the same games and services. If you move platforms, you would need to buy them again. Just make sure
    they have there own Xbox profiles, added using the Microsoft family.

    Happy gaming to you and your family! šŸ˜Š

    Adding a second Xbox One

    We have 3 Xbox Ones in my household for family gaming. If all of your Xbox subscriptions, like Live and Game Pass, are on your Gamer Tag, I would suggest designating your child's Xbox as your Home Console. This would allow sharing of those subscriptions
    (and game purchases) across your family. You can even play at the same time (using separate GTs, of course). You can find more info (including all of the benefits) here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

    Here is some info on setting up a child account on your Xbox, too: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/Family-Online-Safety/child-accounts/add-family-member-on-xbox-one
