    Can't do anything with Minecraft Realm.

    Now it's telling me that I can't play on realms because of how my microsoft account is set up.

    Did you enter your correct birthdate then, when you created the account?

    Also: Do you properly see your online and privacy settings, when you go to http://account.xbox.com/settings, or do you get a page explaining
    how to add your account to a parent account?

    So how exactly doesn't "it" work?

    Hi Tanvir!

    On which platform do you play the FH4 game? Steam platform or Xbox/Windows platform?

    On the privacy settings here https://account.xbox.com/Settings, does it show a different gamertag from your Xbox app? If so, check the email address of your account by going to https://account.microsoft.com > Your info. Use that email address to sign in to your Xbox app. Sign out from Xbox app and sign in your correct account.

    What exactly doesn't work?

    If you go to http://account.xbox.com/settings and see a page explaining how to add a child account to a parent account, you will need the
    help of your parents with an adult Microsoft account.

    If not already done so, your parent has to go to
    https://account.microsoft.com/family and add your account to their family.

    Then your parent has to go to http://account.xbox.com/settings, sign in with their parent
    account and make the necessary changes on your child account.

    After your parents have set permissions on your account, you need to sign out and back in on the device or app you're trying to use.
