    Can't use Minecraft Multiplayer due to 'Microsoft Settings' but can't change the privacy...


    Trying to play Minecraft online but it tells me to 'change my Microsoft settings.' Did some research and I need to edit my privacy settings on Xbox. When I got to the page to change them however it takes me to 'Family and Online Safety' instead of (what I've seen as) the usual 'Privacy and online safety.' From there I can not edit anything besides opening tabs like 'Manage App Privacy Settings Online,' but when I open it it just shows a link (labelled as 'Privacy and Online Safety') which just puts me back onto the same page of which I can't change anything. I should mention that I am part of a family (not organiser) and under 18, so is it an issue with that?

    :)

    Can't use Minecraft Multiplayer due to 'Microsoft Settings' but can't change the privacy settings to fix it.

    Hi,

    It would appear your account has been set with some child features. You would have to ask whoever manages your family settings to change your privacy settings. Heres how

    Hello,

    To change your Microsoft account privacy settings, sign in to the privacy & online safety page, which you should be able to access through the page you’re referring to. You can also make these changes on an Xbox One, Series X|S console or through the Xbox Family settings app.

    When adjusting any account settings, make sure to select “submit” to confirm and save these changes.

    Note: If you’re using a child account, you’ll need an adult in your family to sign in to their Microsoft account to change your privacy settings.

    After allowing the necessary privacy settings and you’re still unable to play online multiplayer in Minecraft Realms, here is a Multiplayer troubleshooting page:

    Hope this helps, happy gaming! :)

    I can't access my settings, redirects to xbox support

    Hello! So I was migrating my account from Mojang to Microsoft but when I joined Minecraft I noticed that I can't play multiplayer, I searched some forums and tried to change my settings, but when I press "Privacy Settings" in my profile, it just redirects me to the Xbox support. link: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help...e-safety/manage-app-privacy-settings-xbox-one .

    And now I don't know what to do because the information is about the Xbox console and I have java Minecraft. Can anyone help?

    Can't change Privacy settings

    I have had my account for ~8 years, but I still do think it's odd that back then I could play multiplayer no problem, but NOW I can't.
