    Help adding someone to Xbox live.


    Hi.

    I'd like to add my son to an xbox live account (so he can play online). What's the best way to do this?

    I also have some very specific questions...

    • We are currently sharing a live account (he logs in as me). We've downloaded minecraft on to the xbox. If he has his own account can he play this on our machine?
    • We downloaded several packs/mods for minecraft, if he has his own account can he access these on our machine?
    • We also are sharing a squad in Call of Duty Ghosts. He plays a soldier and I play another. Will he be able to access his soldiers when he is logged in as himself?
    • Finally, what happens for things like expansions? Say I get a map pack for COD Ghosts. Do I need to buy it twice so he can play it, or is it available to anyone on our machine?
    Basically I'd like him to have access to everything he has now, but be able to maintain his own friends list so I can play in peace Help adding someone to Xbox live. :p

    Think that's it... Complicated right? Help adding someone to Xbox live. :)

    Any help is much appreciated!!!

    Cant connect to Xbox live.

    Had someone try to help me through chat earlier, and was able to sign in to Xbox Live for about half an hour by adding two forms of contact to my Microsoft Profile. Now I'm right back to the same problem of being unable to connect and getting an X between
    Internet and Xbox Live on the Test Connection screen.

    Help adding someone to Xbox live.

    When you make your son a new account you will have to pay for his membership, Also He will be able to play minecraft an use all the expansion packs As long as Your account remains on the Xbox it was originally installed on, He will not be able to access
    his solders when he plays Ghost since its two different accounts,

    To answer your question as simple as possible, He can play all and use all the things you have downloaded on the same xbox, but will not be able to play any save files that he had while playing on your account.

    Hi there,

    -

    what STEP RANDY said is in general correct. Basically as long as the licenses on the content you buy (Games DLC etc) are on the console then any other profile/account should be able to use that content as long as the console is connected to xbox live.

    See this link for more information regarding licenses etc:
    support.xbox.com/.../download-content


    Regarding save games, save games are per account, so he will need to restart the games when a new account is created, there is no way to transfer save games to another account.

    A subscription to xbox live gold is also per account.

    Let us know if you have any other/further questions

    how to disable advertising and othes stufs on home screen (dashboard)

    Gold in very inexpensive and the Ads help to keep it that way. Someone has to pay for everything that it takes to run a network the size of Xbox Live. I can say that with a Gold subscription being only $5 monthly (purchased yearly) I can put up with
    the Ads. Anyway, I don't spend enough time on the dashboard for it to make a lot of difference.

    help finding when you added someone

    Hello! From how it seems, going to
    Xbox.com
    , go to the
    My Account
    icon, then it'll take you to a similar Xbox dashboard on your PC. Then click the
    friends button in the top bar, then go to followers, and then you should see how long since your friend has added you.
