  1. Gold Sharing issue on family accounts


    I own 3 Xbox one’s and I have Xbox Gold Live connected to my account and 3 family accounts linked to mine to use the Gold membership on their accounts. Why can they no longer use my gold membership simultaneously unless they are logged in as me, when we’re
    all playing on our different Xbox accounts?

    :)

    Question about xbox and W-Microsoft10

    It was my understanding that all the users (family members using an XBO can share a Gold Account). So, eventually, your friend could play on the XBO with his MS account (if you have gold) and you could play on the PC.

    Beginner/Nub questions about Xbox Live...

    1. Gamertags, your Gamerscore and your purchases tied to your account all stay forever, even if you let your Gold run out.
    2. I believe there is a program that gives you some sort of family discount for more than one Gold subscription associated with the same console or card, not sure on the details.
    3. If you have an Xbox One, Gold is shared on the entire console. Not only your family, but your friends who come over and play on their own account can all reap Gold benefits with just a single paid account.

    Gold Sharing issue on family accounts

    You can only share gold on 1 console at a time, your Home console. So if the console you're using is set as your Home, they won't be able to use the gold on the other consoles. You would need to set one of the other consoles as your Home so other accounts
    can share it there and have gold on at least 1 more account in order to share on the 3rd console.

    Home Console/Game Sharing expansion needed

    I agree that there is room for improvement in the current family sharing system. My Idea would be a true "Home" sharing setup, where all Xboxes on the same home network could share 1 gold account. They could even limit that to maybe 1 gold account can
    share with up to 4 Xboxes on the same local network. That would solve most family account issues, and still be controlled enough to limit the abuse of the program.

    The other way they could handle it would be similar to how Microsoft runs Office 365. With my 365 account I can have up to 5 running instances of Office at once, and I can designate family members to share my 365 account with. If Live Gold used that same
    system, then you could add your family to the account the same way. 365 is $99 a year, where Live Gold is $60, so maybe up the "family shared" version of Live Gold to $99 a year, where a single use account is still $60?

    I would also like a Microsoft "Super" account that would give me Office 365, Xbox Gamepass, and Live Gold under one Subscription...

    xbox live

    This would make sense as a family setup but at the same time it's perfectly possible at the moment to atleast do this across 2 consoles within the family by setting the account with Gold as the "Home Xbox" of the other, whereas the account with Gold would
    then be sharing Gold and Games and Apps, the person with Gold would still have all access to their own Games and Apps and Gold as well, however there is one downside, if there is no internet connection or a major issue with the internet connection, the person
    sharing may not be able to play their games.

    Xbox live and game pass on 2 consoles

    you can share gold and gamepass on both consoles and just pay a membership just have the profile on both consoles and turn on the sharing option, another option is to make a family account and on the main pay for the subscription and share with your children's
    accounts

    Hi I got banned 3 days ago

    You’re aloud to share with family as that’s why it gives you the option for sharing gold with family, how else would you be able to share with them without their account? (Why else would you have make this account your home Xbox)
