good evening

There are a few things you can check if your child is unable to play Realms on Xbox even though you have enabled multiplayer and Realms on the Xbox family app:

Make sure that your child's Xbox account is set up correctly: Your child's Xbox account needs to be properly set up and linked to your Microsoft account in order for them to be able to play Realms. If their account is not set up correctly, they may not be able to play.

Check the privacy and online safety settings on your child's Xbox account: Make sure that the privacy and online safety settings on your child's Xbox account are set correctly to allow them to play Realms. To do this, go to the "Privacy & online safety" tab in the Xbox guide, then select "View details & customize" and make sure that the "Multiplayer gaming" and "Communicate with voice and text" options are set to "Everyone" or "Friends."

Check the Xbox Live status page: If there are any issues with the Xbox Live service, your child may be unable to play Realms. You can check the Xbox Live status page to see if there are any known issues that could be affecting your child's ability to play Realms.

Restart your Xbox console: Restarting your console can sometimes resolve issues with stuck games or other issues. To do this, press the Xbox button on your controller to bring up the guide, then select "Restart console."

Realms isn't a game mode

It's a subscription to allow him to download player created maps.

I can’t play with my friends and I can’t play realms

Me too

If it is a child account will it not let you play a realm?

Good day

If the account you are playing with is set as a child account you wont be able to start a Realm.

To be able to play on someone else realm you will need to have the settings changed to allow for multiplayer games.

Child accounts is under the age of 18 (20 in South Korea and Japan).
