Allowing multiplayer on my microsoft account on PC

Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community.

We appreciate your coming to the Xbox community. According to what you reported, apparently, this is happening because your account is considered a child/teenager and unfortunately it is not possible to change the age of the Xbox profile, you can change the Microsoft account, but the system will still consider the account as a minor.

If your account is a child/teenager you will have to ask an adult to create a Microsoft account and invite you to a family group so that person can manage your privacy settings. To create a family group, please use the information provided in the article below.

- Once an adult creates an account and adds you to their family group, they should follow the instructions below.

Visit the website: https://account.xbox.com/en-us/settings

The adult must have his account logged in at the moment, and then he will see your profile and hers, he must change the settings of his profile, in the case of the child.

In the privacy tab check that the options, "You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text" and Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites" are set to allow.

Also, check the Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety tab, and see if the ''You can join multiplayer games'' option is set to allow.

*Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.

Hi JosefLBohorquez, thanks for the reply.

I allowed all privacy settings like you suggested but am still having the issue.

I got the game's multiplayer to work using the same Microsoft account on another PC, so the problem is definitely stemming from an Xbox Live client-side setting on my home PC.

I reinstalled the Xbox App, Game Bar, and Microsoft Store with no luck in-game. Fresh out of ideas...

Check your privacy settings under your Microsoft account to see if it allows for multiplayer.

The world you play on check to see if it is set to allow for multiplayer or not, it does sometimes seem to change that settings aswell.

Please let your friend check their privacy settings under their Microsoft account to see if it allows for multiplayer.

Also, check the world you play on to see if it is set to allow for multiplayer or not, it does sometimes seem to change the settings.

To my knowledge, there isn't a way to allows LAN multiplayer and restrict online access. It's just the one setting for all Multiplayer on child accounts.
