cancellling gold auto renewalon child account

it only pops once after u cancel auto renewal.

I haven had to cancel auto renew on the xbox one yet, but remember what a nightmare it can be. I believe I ended up removing the credit card info on file to ensure that it wouldn't attempt it again. I had thought I already canceled once before and didn't
realize I didn't until the charge hit my card. Now I buy prepayed cards.

Hi Onyx, i’m confused as to what you said; Whichever child has the Gold membership on their account should be set as Home on the other child's console.

So, if child A has has the gold account then child Bs console should be the designated Home Xbox of child As account?

Or do you setup child Bs console to list child As console as the Home Xbox?

Also, can both Consoles be using the Gold account at the same time albiet with the childs individual profiles? I.e. both children can be playing multiplayer games at the same time using the same Gold account on their
own console?

thanks!

Ok, simply put

Child One has Xbox Live Gold and games.

Child two has their own console.

Child one sets child twos console to their home xbox. Thus allowing the sharing of child ones Live Gold and games.

Child one signs out and ensures auto login is switched off on child twos console.

Child one can login on any other console and have access to their games and Live Gold etc.

Edit: You can only have one Xbox console set as your Home Xbox console. As soon as you set another Xbox console as Home Xbox, it cancels the other out. So all having the 3rd console set as Home Xbox will wipe the other Home shares out.

Yes the Home Xbox is designed for use on one console and it will work as described with two consoles in the house. A third console would need its own Xbox Live account for the third person to be able to use Live Gold etc.

Unfortunately there is no way around digital transfers between accounts.

Microsoft Family is only for you asa an adult to be able to monitor your childrens accounts, as long as they are set up as the correct age and not attempting to bypass the restrictions that a child account has.

As others noted, your children need an active Gold membership subscription to be able to play online multiplayer (other than free to play titles like Apex or Fortnite).

Since you say the child can play online multiplayer when you are signed in on that console, I assume your own account has an active Gold or Game Pass ULTIMATE subscription.

In order to save some costs, you can do the following:

Give one child (let's call it Child A) a gold membership subscription or a Game Pass ULTIMATE subscription (a "regular" Game Pass subscription won't do it).

Now Child A goes to the console of Child B and sets that console as their own Home Console in the settings of the Child B console.

Now the Child B console shares the Gold membership subscription with ANYONE playing on that Child B console.

As Child A is the owner of the Gold subscription, they in turn can go to ANY CONSOLE and their Gold subscription goes with them.

So Child B can play Minecraft online Multiplayer thanks to the shared Gold subscription on the B-console, and Child A can play on their own console (or any other console) thanks to the Gold membership on their Child A account.

If you yourself don't play online multiplayer, you can then cancel the Gold subscription on your own account, and the kids can play with their own accounts.
