Hide my recently played games from my kids account Home Screen when they log into the console

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 David

Unfortunately right now there is no way to hide the recent used games and apps from your console :c

A “workaround” for this could be open a few apps (Microsoft store, system apps, etc) before giving the console to your kids in that way the list is going to be replaced with these recently opened apps

Hi,

You can't merge or transfer any items from an account to another, and i didn't get the other question as using both accounts at the same time is possible on the same console when a kid is logged to an account and another kid is logged to the other account.

Any account on the console must have set it to My home Xbox so you can share both game libraries.

You do not have to be signed into the home console for the profiles on that box to be able to use your Live Gold features and play the digital games on your account.

But if the profile on the second console wants to play online and your games then you have to be signed into that console with your Profile.

We have this setup at my house. The main issue that it causes is when my son wants to play on our "second" console and I'm playing something on the home console. He would have to log me into the second console and that logs me out of the home console.


Usually My Kids will play games on the Home console and I'll play on the Second one.

You are right about the same account. You cannot log in on two Xbox One consoles at the same time using the same account. So for your kids to use the new console, it would be best to create an Xbox account each. That way they can play the games without using
some ones save.

As for game pass, with the account that already has it, log in on the new console, and make it the home Xbox. That would allow your kids to use the Xbox and the games without needing the account with game pass to log in. More info on the home Xbox here

It sounds like the upstairs console needs to be setup as the Home for the Primary account.

If you setup the upstairs console as the Home for the primary account , you can then add all of the family accounts to that console. Any family account will be able to access the digital games and live features without the Primary needing to be logged in.
The primary just has to be on the account.

The Basement can have the primary account on there and it will not interfere with the upstairs console when the primary logs into it. If any of the Family accounts want to use the games on the Basement console then they would have to log the primary
account in as well.

I have it setup in my house where the "kids" console in the living room is my Home console with all of the profiles on the system. the Den console just has my profile. I'm able to play on my console while they play on theirs with no interference.

Hope that helps.
