    Can't change the Privacy Settings for son's Minecraft game


    I've downloaded Minecraft for Windows 10 for my son's computer. It won't allow him to access multiplayer games. I get the message "You cannot play online multiplayer mode through Xbox Live because how your account is set up. This can be changed in your privacy
    & online safety settings on Xbox.com."

    When I go to Xbox.com, click on his profile under Privacy & Online Safety, then go to Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety, and try to click Allow on Join mulitplayer games, I constantly get the message "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later."

    He is signed out of Minecraft. I am currently signed in, and it allows to join multiplayer games/servers. But when we log in under his account, I get the first message from my first paragraph.

    What are we doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Can't invite friends to play Minecraft

    My son and his friend are connected on XBox Live. His friend can invite him to play in his Minecraft world but my son can't invite his friend to play in his Minecraft world. The option for game invite is grayed out. I've checked all privacy/content settings
    and all are set to Friends. Anyone know how we can enable my son to be able to invite his friend to play?

    Can't change the Privacy Settings for son's Minecraft game

    Hi there,

    be sure to allow the User Created content option at
    http://account.xbox.com/settings


    option to for your Son's account. Since you are receiving an error please also try to see what happens via a different browser.

    After the setting was changed without any errors showing please have his account sign in again and see if the game will allow his account to play.

    If for some reason the error keeps showing it might be best to contact Xbox Support via Phone or Microsoft Support Chat, so they can look into that error. You can contact Xbox Support via Contact Us | Xbox Support.

    Changing date of birth

    Hi during setting up the Xbox one for my son I entered my date of birth instead of his by mistake. Can I change this? If so I don't know how to thanks.

    Also what privact settings should i have on there to protect my son whilst gaming online?
    As far as I'm aware you can't change the date of birth for an Xbox account. However, you can change the privacy settings of the account. you can do this by going into settings, account and then selecting privacy and online followed by Xbox live privacy. these
    settings can be changed to allow messages, online play etc.

    Help to allow multiplayer options on Minecraft Java & Bedrock - Windows 11

    Hi Alice! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your son's multiplayer feature in Minecraft.

    I understand that you have already managed your son's Xbox privacy settings yet to no avail.

    Just in case this would work, try to turn on all of your son's Xbox privacy settings to "Block" > save the changes > and sign out of your Microsoft account > Sign back in and turn your son's account all privacy settings again to "Allow" and "Everyone" then save. > After signing out, have your son sign back into the Microsoft Store and Minecraft launcher to check if he will be able to play multiplayer on Minecraft.

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,
    Darhyl
