    Can't play with family account


    I recently set up a childs account for my son so we could play minecraft together. We had no problems at all until the recent system update. In the past, he would play with his account on my home xbox and I would play on a separate xbox in the same roo . We had no problem joining echothers parties or games. Now I can send him a party invite but not a game invite. He can't select join game from his xbox as the option is grayed out. After researching a bit it seems that this is a common issue for a variety of reasons. I've tried everything I've been able to find. He is playing on my home xbox, all his options are set to "allow" and nothing is blocked. I even changed his account to an adult account. Nothing has worked. The only thing I haven't been able to do is set my NAT to open, (it's moderate) but I am on a cellular hot spot and can not change that, however, we had no problems playing with moderate NAT before. Please help, this is one of my sons favorite things to do and I miss playing with him.

    :)

    Family Xbox Live accounts and multiple xboxes in the home

    Actually Major Nelson said totally opposite: Should you choose to play your game at your friend’s house (second console), there is no fee to play that game while you are signed in to your profile.

    For me it looks that if I am logged in on second console then my children can play that game. But if I log off and go back to console in my living room to play different game, then my children can't use that game anymore on second console, until I PAY AGAIN
    for game what I already bought!

    And about family accounts. There is no family accounts in the future. Microsoft removed family accounts option months ago now, and confirmed that there is no family accounts in future. Everyoine who paid for family Gold package can use it until it's end. After
    that they can't renew and use it anymore!

    You can't change your age once it is set and he can't remove himself from the family account unless he has the password to the family account.

    Games on the same console can be played by everyone. Unless you have a family account, you can't give your son points purchased from your account.

    Xbox LIVE Error

    You need the parents in charge of the family account to do this. It's a common answer because its the solution. If you're underage and don't meet the requirements to play online you need a parents help using a family account. They have to make the changes
    for you. You can't do it yourself.
