    Family sharing not working


    Hi, I have set up a new xbox one for my 8 year old son. I have set up my own account/gamertag and also one for my son along with family sharing. I downloaded Minecraft using a code and also free trials for games and gold. When my son logs on he cannot play
    unless I log on too. I read that I need to set up my home Xbox for myself and my son. I have done this and he still does not have access to gold and it asks for code/payment.

    Can you help please?

    :)

    Gold family sharing not working

    I have a gold subscription. Console is set as my home console.

    my son has an account on the Xbox, also set as his home console.

    he is registered as my son on ms family safety website. He previously had a gold subscription of his own on his old xb360 , which worked fine (so i know that family safety settings are all fine for allowing him to play online through gold)

    he cannot play any online games on the xbOne, just gets an error that he needs a gold subscription. I can play fine on my account.

    any ideas?

    THIS IS ***

    People need to stop moaning about family sharing. Just because microsoft was going to allow you to share your game with 10 people does not mean the publishers will. They would have had the ability to block family sharing i believe. Questions for family sharing
    were left unanswered. Would players be able to play multiplayer through the sharing function? I would not be surprised if this family sharing was for singleplayer only. I am sorry, but i would rather take no drm and no always online check thing then a feature
    that could possibly turn out to suck tremendously.

    Family Share not working

    Yes it's incorrect, you need to setup Xbox A as the home Xbox using profile B, and setup Xbox B as the home Xbox using profile A. That way you can share each others games and subscriptions (Game Pass, EA Access, Gold, Ultimate)

    Let me explain it a little better for you we will follow this example.

    No matter what console a profile is signed into it will always be able to play its digitally bought games and use any subscription that it has. Each profile can set ONE console at a time as its home console and any other profile on that console then can
    play its digital games and use any of its subscriptions. Keep in mind you can only switch which console a profile has set as its home console FIVE times a year.

    CA= Console A If A1 has this set as its profiles home xbox then A2 and any other profile can play A1s digital games and use A1s subscriptions.

    CB= Console B only A1 would be able to play its digital games and use its subscriptions

    A1= Account 1 has the games and subscriptions

    A2= Account 2 Kids account

    So basically whatever console your kids are going to be playing on the most you would want to set as your home xbox so they can play your digital games

    Okay I'll just list how it is currently set up and you tell me if it's wrong.

    Xbox A (that has the games and live) is set as the home Xbox with the Xbox A profile.

    Xbox B is set up as the home Xbox of Xbox B's profile.

    Is this incorrect?

    3 consoles in 1 home to share games?

    Is a siblings account the same as family sharing? Family sharing option does not seem to be working for us. It is saying try again…
