Child account game pass sharing, on another console?

They would both need to set their home Xbox to that console to share the subscription

There is currently a "friends and family" plan in testing, which should be perfect for you. That way their subscriptions will be tied to their accounts and not the console, and work on anyXbox they sign into

Have you set up a family account for yourself and the child that has XBL Gold (ie parent account with Gold, Child 1 has access as defined by parent account)? This would be best to control unauthorized purchases but would limit game sharing as only the Parent
account would be able to play on the non Home console.

If you haven't created a Family and have simply purchased XBL Gold for Child 1 then you can share that with Child 2 by game sharing:

• The console that Child 2 uses should be set as the Home console for Child 1 account
• The Child 1 account would download the applicable games to both consoles
• The Child 1 account would use the non Home console while logged in with his XBL account
• I recommend setting a custom pass code on purchases if you don't want unauthorized purchases made if you have added your CC to the console.

Unfortunately Xbox live discontinued their family membership to pursue game pass, however I do recommend that you have the 2 adult accounts with the Xbox live membership and share with the child accounts via home share feature on consoles

As others noted, your children need an active Gold membership subscription to be able to play online multiplayer (other than free to play titles like Apex or Fortnite).

Since you say the child can play online multiplayer when you are signed in on that console, I assume your own account has an active Gold or Game Pass ULTIMATE subscription.

In order to save some costs, you can do the following:

Give one child (let's call it Child A) a gold membership subscription or a Game Pass ULTIMATE subscription (a "regular" Game Pass subscription won't do it).

Now Child A goes to the console of Child B and sets that console as their own Home Console in the settings of the Child B console.

Now the Child B console shares the Gold membership subscription with ANYONE playing on that Child B console.

As Child A is the owner of the Gold subscription, they in turn can go to ANY CONSOLE and their Gold subscription goes with them.

So Child B can play Minecraft online Multiplayer thanks to the shared Gold subscription on the B-console, and Child A can play on their own console (or any other console) thanks to the Gold membership on their Child A account.

If you yourself don't play online multiplayer, you can then cancel the Gold subscription on your own account, and the kids can play with their own accounts.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Lorraine, putting an active subscription account into a family account will not cause the Game Pass to be shared, as you have two consoles so they can enjoy the subscription is to share between consoles, place child account 01 as primary in child console 02, and place child account 02 as primary in child console 01.
