Family account problems

IEDBait · Feb 1, 2019

I am divorced and my son has two Xbox ones. He has one at his mothers house and one at my house. He is listed as a family member under my account but is routinely denied the ability to play the games in my library. I cannot set both of his Xbox's as my
home Xbox for him to access the games. The only other way I can get him to play them is to have him sign my profile into whatever Xbox he is on so that he can play. This is a problem when it comes time for me to play games at the same time. Is there a solution
to this?

Hello Bait,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. You can set up the home console so it is on the Xbox at his mothers house. Then when he is at your house you would need to sign in on your profile so he can play, but it is a little easier than signing
in at his mothers house.

Thanks,

Unfortunately no. Games can only be shared through the Home setting. In order for him to be able to use the game on both consoles, the games would need to be bought on his account.

I have family gold, if I delete my account, there may be a problem with the associated accounts in family gold?

thx

Yes, what I mean it's that with neither of those accounts you can create a Microsoft family, so the real problem it's create the family not add each other's, but with your wife account can you create a family and add the C1INTJ account?

Game sharing is part of your Home setting, not family settings. You would need to set the new console as your Home console in order for your brother to access anything you bought on your account (and/or he would need to set the console as his Home console
for you to access his content).
