    Getting another Xbox One for the house do I need another Xbox Live Account


    I have a xbox one already downstairs and planning on buying another one for my daughter for her birthday but I'm trying to find out if I need to get another Xbox Live Account subscription. She already has an account on my system but will my live work on
    hers. So we both can watch Netflix or play games? Also could she play the games I purchased on my system on hers?

    :)

    Netflix and Amazon Prime, one account 2 xbox. Help

    I could but do you not need to buy another 12 months xbox live on that account to use Netflix and amazon
    and why do you even need to be logged into live to use another service ? as I have the apps already installed but can not run them is it not abit silly to create a whole new account just to stream as I would never use it for games or anything at all but streaming seems abit long winded just fro that why do Microsoft do that

    Getting another Xbox One for the house do I need another Xbox Live Account

    If I remember how this works, anyone can play any of your downloaded games on the xbox that is designated as your "Home" xbox. Only one Xbox can be your "Home" xbox.

    You can sign into any other Xbox with your account and play any of your games, but once you sign out, your games will no longer be available to that xbox until you sign back in.

    I just posted the same question, I should have check this post first. Would the same work for my setup:

    My son has a Xbox360, we just bought a One. Do I designate the Xbox One as my Home Xbox? Then log in with my sons Live ID, then log into the 360 with my Live ID again, and we can both now be playing a game together like say Gears of War?

    If you add her account to your Xbox Live Family, which can be found somewhere in "settings", she has all the capabilities that Xbox Live offers. However, if you both choose to play games with one another, you would have to purchase two of the same game because
    adding accounts to "family sharing" does not grant those accounts, games that one person purchases. If that makes sense.

    Xbox won’t turn on

    Sometimes an outlet is wired differently and cannot handle the power the Xbox needs to function. Please try another outlet again to see if the Xbox works. I know for a fact the outlets in the house I'm living in need some help. A lot of the upstairs ones
    do not power my Xbox properly. xD
