Child Microsoft account unable to access Minecraft online on any device.

Hi, I know this is a common problem and there are many posts about the solution. However I have logged onto xbox as the parent and set the specific settings
You can see and upload community creations set to everyone. In fact I have set all settings to
Everyone or Allow.

When we log into minecraft on IOS, PC or Switch it says that the microsoft account settings don't allow online access.

What else can I try?

I figured it out from another thread:

1. https://account.xbox.com

2. Select the child account

3. Work through the three tabs and turn on the appropriate Multiplayer settings.

The setting for multiplayer needs to be set on allow for the account to be able to play online.

Hello all,

As this is an old thread, I will be locking this one. Updates, games and everything changes often so would be best to create a new thread. Once a new thread is created we will be happy to assist you in any issues or questions you might have.

Thanks,

Brad

Make sure that before you change "tabs" (i.e. Privacy, Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety, Xbox 360 Online Safety), that you save the changes made. Otherwise, when you change tabs, the settings are not saved and revert to their original state.

Also, after you made the changes, your child has to sign out and back into it's Microsoft Account on the console or device the kid is playing Minecraft on for the changes to take effect.
