help!

I have multiple kids, so we have one two xbox one consoles. We

have one live account. Can they use two different gamer tags and be on

the systems at the same time using the one live account or do they need

separate xbox live accounts?

two different tags and systems, one one live account

So I have two kids, one with an xbox360 and one with an xbox one. We have one live account. Can they use two different gamer tags and be on the systems at the same time using the one live account or do they need separate xbox live
accounts?

If you're using the One, you can share gold using the Home console setting. If you're using the 360, each account would need their own subscription.

Why would you even want to have two accounts with active Xbox Live membership? Just use one and cancel the other account's membership if you don't want to be paying twice for two accounts.

It is true that in preparation for the Xbox One launch the family plan was discontinued and existing users were converted to standard LIVE Gold accounts. Reason being, the Xbox One is capable of enabling an Xbox LIVE Home Gold account instead. The Xbox
LIVE Home Gold service allows ANY profile that logs into your Xbox One console to have access to your live services. I see the dilemma for you is that you want two Xbox(s) for two children. If it is not possible for them to share an Xbox One, then you really
only have the option of purchasing two consoles and two standard LIVE Gold memberships. As for Netflix, if you only have one console and one LIVE Gold membership, you can only watch Netflix on that console. But, it you have two consoles and two LIVE Gold
memberships, you should be able to watch Netflix on each console, provided that Netflix allows more than one user to be logged into the same Netflix account from different "locations". Otherwise, you might need two Netflix memberships too. If my siblings
and I didn't want to share our Super Nintendo, my parents said "Tough dookie! Learn to share "your toys"". My, how times have changed. LOL

The Xbox Gold Membership can only be associated with one xbox at a time. However you can still transfer gold between one xbox to another.

There is somewhat of a workaround but only between two xbox. If you have a gold account as the main (home) account anyone who uses the xbox will have access to gold. Then you can use this account on a different xbox but only the one account will have gold.

One solution Would be to apply an Xbox live gold membership to both accounts. In the past this would have been the only option to have two accounts online at once.
