Game sharing isnt giving me online access

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Ethan

This can be a bit odd. But can you ask (or if you prefer to do it) your friend to create and invite you to a family group?

After that, remove and re-add your account in the console and try checking if you're able to use Live Gold

No. Only the account that purchases the subscription can access the other benefits. Sharing only gives you access to Gold (the ability to play online) and games downloaded from Game Pass. It doesn't share the actual subscription.

There isnt a Rock sticker on there but there is a code at the back of the instruction booklet that gives online access?? Would this be it? Or am I gonna have to go back to EB Games and c if I can get a game with a rock sticker? By the way thanx for answering
me back so quickly BigDaddyB80

Sharing only gives you access to some features (ie. online multiplayer and the games from Game Pass). Only the account that purchases the subscription will have access to everything including cloud gaming.

Well first you can't play offline if you don't have local gamesaves

Cloud saves can only be accessed while online that's why they are cloud saves

You will have to login online and get into the game with the save and resave locally

If you are gaming sharing then any game you are sharing won't be accessible unless you are online

This is why you don't give out your home console
