  1. Child access to Xbox Live Gold account


    Everytime my child gets onto Xbox he needs switch to my profile (under which payment info and Xbox Gold are purchased) and have me enter my password in order for him to play on Xbox Live. Is there a way I can just grant him permanent access to my Xbox Gold
    account so he can access Xbox Live without me having to enter my password each and every time?

    :)

    Xbox Live Confusion?

    Xbox Live is free.

    You can make a Gold account, or a Silver account.

    The Gold account gives you access to access to play online, along with free monthly games and weekly deals. This has a fee.

    The Silver account gives you access to Xbox Live and apps, but you just can't play online or get the free games. This is free.

  3. Child Accounts Unable to use Gold Membership on Parent Account

    Good day,

    I have a child account that cannot access the my parent account which has Live Gold membership. Child account trying to purchase a game but it will not allow using the Gold membership price. Also unable to download free games via the Gold membership. Xbox
    One is set as the "home" box for both child and parent. So why is it that the child account appears to have no access to Gold?

  5. This is not the case. My xbox is set up as my home console but my child cannot purchase games or extensions at the gold discounted price. I also cannot set up a gold account for my child with the current offer in Australia

    Son plays on my Xbox with my Gold account but is now getting a second Xbox for when he's at his mom's house

    game progress is made in the cloud, so it will be available on every console that connects the account, as for Xbox Live Gold, your child needs access to their account on the new console and set this account as home xbox to access all your games and subscriptions

    2nd console

    Hello! Welcome to the forums!

    First Remember you can make yout Home console and share your Xbox Live Benefits and your games with anyone that login in that console.

    No if you want that your childs play each other... Your Child 1 can use the home console to have access to the game and Xbox Live Gold Account. But the other child need to have Xbox Live Gold and the game.

    Regards!

    Avatar skins for child account

    but the message on screen is to have an adult purchase them FOR the child account. So, as the adult that owns the xbox live gold account, how do I do what the system is telling me to do? If, as an adult, I can not buy these for my child, why tell me I
    can? And are the very childish avatar skins REALLY only meant for adult players? If child accounts cannot have them, your messaging should not tell the child to ask their parents to purchase them for them. It should just say something like “ Avatar skins (many
    of which are obviously designed for children) cannot be purchased for a child account. So if you, as a parent buy your child an Xbox Live Gold account, please know that 5hey cannot access content design ped for xbox live gold members even with parent permission”.

    The Microsoft Family Con!

    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.

    How does Xbox Live Gold work for child accounts?

    Thanks, I logged in to his account and he does not have a subscription to Live Gold. But I do. Shouldn't he have access to it as a child account of mine?
