Divorced parents

I suppose this question has multiple parts, so here goes. I am the Father who will buy and play games with my children (two 12 year olds and a 5 year old), but we now live in very separate states (Hawaii and Nevada). I purchased and set up their new
Xbox with my account information, mainly so they get to keep all the games tied to it. Can I use the old Xbox with the same account at the same time they use it? Can we play games together (the Lego titles)? Or will I have to get a new account in order
to play with them online? The 12 year olds have child accounts, but I have been hesitant and just let the 5 year old play on mine vice his own. What is my best option here? On a side note, the Mother hates video games and refuses to help with them taking
away the option of her getting her own account.

If the xbox at their moms has your account and is set to Home Xbox, then all the kids accounts on the xbox will be given access to Xbox Live Gold as well as all appropriate game titles.

For the 5 year old if an account was made for them they would have access as well, or they could use a siblings account

If your account is their home xbox it will not be required to signed in for them to play your games, so you could still play together on the games you love

I really hope this helps you!

Hello Dustin,

We understand that you would like to enjoy time playing with your kids through the Xbox One console while using the same account, or at least your checking in to see if this can be done.

To this, we recommend the following how to designate an Xbox One console as your home Xbox support article, which will include creating
a new account but this process would allow you to share the content from the original account to an Xbox One console of your choosing.

Try following this and let us know if this works.

Best wishes!

As long as you have their console set as your Home, they can share your games and play online with their own accounts so you can play with them at the same time.

If you continue to let the 5 year old use your account, you will not be able to sign in at the same time on your account. It would actually be better to create an account for them.

Isnt it finished??. I cant play cuz im with my dad. (My parents divorced)

Theory of Game

Correct. Anyone can play the games purchased by an account on the console designated as "home" by the account. Additionally, the account that owns the content can download and play the games they own on any Xbox One, provided that they are actively logged
in to Xbox Live with their account.
