    How can I add a child's gamertag to the Xbox settings page so he can join our MCPE Realm?


    We are playing Mincecraft PE on our Ipads and Windows 10 PC at home. We do not have an actual xbox.

    My child's xbox live account is unable to connect to the Realm and gets this message:

    "You cannot play on Realms because of how your Xbox Live account is set up. This can be changed in your privacy & online safety settings on Xbox.com"

    I am trying to follow the instructions but am getting stuck at step: "2. Select the gamertag for the child account you want to view or change." (located here https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/security/error-child-trying-to-access-settings)
    The xbox settings page only has my gamertag, not his. (Although he is visible in the microsoft family page but that doesn't help with this)

    How can I add his gamertag to the Xbox settings page, to update his privacy and online safety settings, so he can join our MCPE Realm?

    Thanks!

    :)

    Child's gamer tag

    I do not see my child's Gamertag on the XBOX Settings page, even though he is properly listed and active as a child on my Microsoft Family page. It lists no children on my XBOX account, just my own Gamertag. I am trying to change the privacy settings.

    Minecraft realm for family, children can't login

    I'm a parent who plays local LAN Minecraft games with my family. I have my kid set up on a PC and he plays that way. He also has an iPad and now with PE it seems he can join games that way too.

    I wanted to investigate setting up a realm so we could join a shared game instead of one person having to host it. I tried the 30-day free realm to start, just to prove everyone can connect.

    My child's Microsoft Account is set up in our family, and has reasonable restrictions assigned to it. When I sign into his Xbox live account on the iPad and try to join the realm, he gets an error:

    "You cannot play online multiplayer through Xbox Live because of how your account is set up. This can be changed in your privacy & online safety settings on Xbox.com."

    I've toyed with several of the privacy settings on the child's account, but none of the changes seem to make a difference. Is this a bug?

    Thanks,

    David

    Microsoft Family changing roles Member/Organizer

    This is April 2020 and this service has been available for several years.

    I have been trying to get my grandson who is on a Nintendo Switch to be able to connect to my realm so he can play with me when he is at home.

    There are a ton of tutorials on how to change his settings to Join Multiplayer game and You can create and join clubs. This is supposed to be able to be set up by a parent or adult in the family.

    Yet absolutely nothing shows those two settings for an adult to set up for a child in Microsoft Family or Xbox Live. The grandson has a account on Xbox live as do I and his mother.

    Still will not let us change those two settings. Always shows he does not have permissions.

    Really hard to believe this is so complicated.

    How do I play on servers and with friends on Minecraft?

    "You cannot play online multiplayer because of how your Microsoft account is set up. Review and change your privacy settings at aka.ms/accountsettings."

    This was breaking me. But with hours of searching and trying different things this was the key:

    To join a Realm in the first place, the xbox setting You can create and join Clubs must be set to Allow.

    So even though I had allowed my child to join multiplayer games, they still could not join my Realm.

    You can adjust Join Clubs on the Xbox One console or in a browser.

    Xbox One Console:

    Login as the parent/adult in the family

    Account > Family Settings

    Choose child's profile

    Privacy & online safety

    Xbox Live privacy

    View details & customise

    Friends & clubs

    You can create and join clubs: ALLOW

    Communication & multiplayer

    You can join multiplayer games: Allow

    You can play with people outside of Xbox Live: Allow

    In a Browser:

    https://account.xbox.com/Profile & sign in

    Privacy Settings

    Choose the Child Account you wish to amend

    Choose Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety

    Adjust the following:

    You can play with people outside of Xbox Live: Allow (not sure if this is needed, but as Minecraft is cross-platform I adjusted this)

    You can create and join clubs: ALLOW

    You can join multiplayer games: Allow

    We can't join Minecraft Realm on XBox but can on other Platforms

    My son and I have been playing Minecraft on iPad and Android tablet for a while now and have a Realm set up so that we can play with our friends online. We have had zero access issues getting onto the Realm.

    We have just bought an Xbox One Console, installed Minecraft but neither of us can get onto Realms.

    We get this message:

    "You cannot play on Realms because of how you Microsoft Account is set up. This can be changed in your privacy and online safety settings on aka.ms/accountsettings"

    My sons Microsoft account is an adult account.

    My Microsoft account is an adult account.

    We have our privacy and online safety settings set to allow multiplayer gaming and joining clubs which is what is recommended to get onto Realms. We've had no issue on the iPad or on the Android tablet.

    We've checked all our setting over and over again via PC login into our Microsoft/Xbox accounts and these setting mirror the settings we see when we check our privacy and online safety setting on the Xbox console.

    I re-iterate - allow multiplayer gaming and joining clubs - both required for Minecraft Realms.

    What is restricting our access?

    How do we resolve this?

    It's infuriating!

    N.B. Our accounts are totally separate - we don't use the Family settings and don't have a Family group set up. Just adding this to avoid people suggesting we need to change settings within Family settings as this is NOT set up.
