Asking a family member to sign up for xbox live when we already have an account

If they're using the same console, set the console as your Home to share the subscription. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox. Family setting don't effect sharing.

I have the same problem. Having signed-up yesterday, every time I or my family members try to connect to an on-line version of any game, we receive the message 'Error - the current profile is not allowed to play on Xbox Live.

I've already added all family members AND customized security. Having thought it was to do with the kids' accounts, I tried with mine. No dice!

Any help?

hi there i would suggest if the steps below dont work head over to https://support.xbox.com/ and chat to an advisor there to walk you through the steps in the mean time

If you’re receiving this error code when trying to sign in with a child account, it may mean that the child account isn’t a member of your family.

Child accounts that aren’t members of a family won’t be able to use the Xbox Live service until they’ve been added to a family. To verify whether the child account is a member of your family, sign in to your Microsoft account and see if the child’s
account is listed on the Your family page.

Sign in to your account

If the child account is a member of your family, go to the next solution. If the child account isn’t a member of your family, you’ll need to add them so they can sign in and use Xbox Live. For info, see:

Add family members on Xbox One

or

Make sure that your privacy settings are set so that the child account can sign in. To do so, have the child sign in to their account at www.xbox.com. Then, when prompted, the adult account associated with the child account should sign in to www.xbox.com
and give permission for the child account to sign in to Xbox Live.

Sign in to Xbox.com account

Hi, so I've set up the kids room xbox as home and logged in as 'user b' And the games load up fine, however when they try to get online (fortnite) its asking for them to sign up to xbox gold?

• What is a primary and secondary Family Pack account?

The Xbox LIVE account used to purchase a Gold Family Pack membership is the primary Family Pack account. All other Xbox LIVE accounts associated with the Family Pack membership are secondary accounts.

To see and add family pack members:

On your console, sign in using the Xbox LIVE account that you used to sign up for a Family Pack membership (the primary account).

Go to Settings, and then select Family.

The primary and secondary accounts are shown. To add or remove family members, please see

Managing Gold Family Pack members.
