Hello, I hope you are well.

Please try these steps.

To allow your daughter to play online on the Switch, it is essential to set up the game's content restrictions in the Xbox Family Settings app. After linking your Microsoft account to your daughter's account in the Xbox Family Settings app, you can change the content restrictions to allow online play.

Steps to set up online play on the Switch:

1. In the Xbox Family Settings app:

Sign in with your family organizer's Microsoft account.

Select the profile of the member you want to manage and go to settings.

Under Content Restrictions, select "Minecraft".

Enable "Multiplayer" to allow the player to play online.

Enable "Clubs" to allow access to Realms and other features.

2. On the Nintendo Switch (optional, but recommended):

Make sure your daughter's account has a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

Go to Family Settings on Nintendo Switch and make sure that online play restrictions are enabled for your child's account.

Try setting up a family on Xbox and adding him to it. This will allow you to set screen time, restrict apps and games, etc. Hope this helps!

Hello Sew_mama,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I can see that you're experiencing issues with screen time limits on Xbox. Let's try a few troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve the issue.



First, make sure that your Xbox console is up to date with the latest software updates. You can do this by going to Settings > System > Updates & downloads > Console update.



Next, check that the screen time limits are still set up correctly. You can do this by going to account.microsoft.com/family and signing in with your Microsoft account. From there, select your child's account and check the screen time limits.



If the screen time limits are still set up correctly, try resetting your Xbox console. To do this, press and hold the Xbox button on the console for 10 seconds until it turns off. Then, turn it back on and check if the screen time limits are working.'

Did you set up your family account? Go to settings, Account, Family Settings, Manage family Members, Add to Family. it will cost about 1.50 per kid. But it will be able to set time limits and everything and they will be able to game share with you. Which
brings me to the next Answer, to set up gameshare go to settings, ( if not already there) go to personalization, my home Xbox and make it your home xbox. Hope this helps. I have 4 kids and had to do this for all so they can all play games.
