Anyone the same Problem?

how to add child to xbox live without a console so that minecraft realms work?

We're trying to use Minecraft PE to connect to a realm. The child account was created from Minecraft PE on iOS, the account appears under the parent Microsoft account family, but does not appear under the Parent Xbox Live family.

The child was successfully invited to a realm created by the parent, but when the child tries to connect, gets the message "You cannot play on Realms because of how your Xbox Live account is set up. This can be changed in your privacy & online safety settings
on Xbox.com".

However, the child can't change those settings, the parent needs to, but the parent can only change them from the Xbox account view (where, in this case, the child does not show up).

We do not have an Xbox console. We just want to play MInecraft with family and friends on a realm.

Microsoft support says there's no way to add the child without an Xbox console. I wonder why Minecraft PE walked us through creating a child account in the first place?

Child Account does not appear in Xbox Live Security Settings on Xbox Live Webpage

Hi,

I am struggling with the security settings for the Xbox Live Account of my little brother. We would like to play Minecraft Pocket Edition on my Realm online.

But, he can not access the realm because of some parental control setting.

I followed the instructions on the help page. His account is added to mine as a child account. Unfortunately, I can not access his Xbox Live Settings.

What can I do to permit him to use Minecraft PE Realms?

We do not own a Xbox 360 or a Xbox One.

Best regards,

He Do

90% of the time when my wife tries to join my realm it says "We are unable to connect to Realms right now. We will try again soon."

I can play her account from my Windows 10 machine and it joins realms just fine. It just doesn't work on the XBox One.

The main "home" account on the Xbox One has a Gold subscription. I'm not sure why this is happening.

I have the same issue (created a new post before I found this). I also find that they can access the Realm just fine from a PC, but can't access it on XB1 unless I play with them.

Update - I've just spent the most lovely 1 1/2 hours chatting with support. long story short - I've posted a bug report (REALMS-517) at bugs.mojang.com. There IS a temporary work around - restart your console via settings, which should temporarily allow
1 or 2 of the family accounts to access the realm, before it locks up again with the 'we could not connect' message, after which point you'll have to restart the console again.

I have a Xbox Game Pass and for Minecraft the child account has the realm plus 2 users.

OK, I took another crack at it tonight and this worked for me. If you try it, please reply to let people know if it worked for you.

I stopped trying in https://account.xbox.com/en-US/Settings I moved to working in the console exclusively

In the console,

I went into my Minecraft realm and sent an invitation to my child's account
I exited Minecraft
I made sure my child's account was signed out
I logged into my xbox one with my account and went to settings --> Account --> Family --> Child's settings
In the Account <child gamer Tag>'s privacy and online safety settings
I went into privacy & online safety --> Xbox Live Privacy --> and changed it to Adult Defaults "More Social" & selected swich
I went back 2 screens and went to Access to Content and then changed it to appropriate for ages up to 17

I left myself signed in and then signed in my child's account

From my child's account I went into Minecraft over to friends tab and accepted the invite and then logged into the realm, letting it load backup

Success!!!

OK, now to lock things back down

I quit out of minecraft

Signed off of my child's account

Went back into the child's settings:

Set the xbox privacy to Child defaults and hit switch

I then went view details and customize --> . communications & Multiplayer & Set allow for "you can join multiplayer games"

And then backed out of the profile.

To test:

I kept my account logged in

Signed into my child's account

Loaded mine craft and joined the realm

And it worked!

Also, my son who also plays on a windows 10 computer can get in as well.

Caveat - I hope this makes sense

We have 4 xboxes & 4 users in the house (excessive I know). 2 users have xbox gold accounts. When either of the two users without gold accounts login (without someone with a gold account already logged in) , they can get to Minecraft but not into the realm.
So, looks like you need an xbox gold account to use minecraft realms.

I hope this helps someone else. I conquered the error, but need to buy two more xbox gold accounts if I want all 4 people to be able to log into their own xbox and play in the realm. sigh.

Hey there! You're going to need to verify which version of Minecraft you have. There are two on the Xbox One that you could have.

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is no longer supported. It's playable, but it can't be found in the Store and does not receive updates. This version of the game does not have Realms access.

Minecraft/Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition/Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (All just different names for the same game) is the version with Realms that are cross-compatible.

Java version (only available on PC) is not compatible with Xbox.

If your child's friend has the Realm set up on the correct version of Minecraft, you just need a Gold Subscription. Realm hosts pay the monthly fee to keep the Realm online. The friend will need to invite your friend/add them as a Realm member from their
Xbox or PC, then your child will receive a little envelope thing on their Minecraft menu. That is the Realm invitation. Once that's accepted, they should be able to join the Realm.
