    How do I allow my kids to sign in on my Xbox One while I play Xbox Series X?


    I just bought a series X and moved my older Xbox One upstairs for my kids. Am I able to play my series X while they play the Xbox One upstairs under the same account? I'd like to be able to play Call of Duty while they're upstairs playing Sims or Goat Simulator.

    If I cannot do this, how do I make it work? I have a bunch of games I bought for them under my gamer tag and I don't want to have to purchase them again.

    :)

    Switching home consoles and family sharing

    what happens when i want to use the home (series x) and send my kids to the xbox one?

    my daughter is trying to play on the xbox one and it says i have to sign in, but i am in the other room playing the main (home) xbox series X

    how do we work around this?

    honestly, i will probably never play the original xbox one console where everything was purchased and all games sit.

    i would be playing on the 'home' xbox series x

    New console - can i use old one in house too?

    Hi George! My name is Stephanie and I'm more than happy to help you out!

    Here's what you can do in order to share your Xbox Game Pass on both Xbox Series X and old Xbox One console.

    Sign in to your account where you have an active Xbox Game Pass on Xbox Series X console > press the Xbox menu button > go to Settings > Personalization > My home Xbox > Select Make this as my home Xbox.

    That way, you will be enabling the game and subscription sharing from your account and all of the accounts that will be using the Xbox Series X console will have the benefits of your Xbox Game Pass subscription.

    Sign out of the console then sign in on your old Xbox One console. In this way, you will be using the old Xbox Console where you can frequently use your account. As long as your account is signed in on your old Xbox One console, you will still have access to your Xbox Game Pass benefits while your kids can play your game pass on Xbox Series X console.

    Kind regards,
    Stephanie

    Second Xbox, Questions about Gold, Access, Home Xbox, etc.

    We run 2 xboxes all the time, basically we have our front room xbox set as the home xbox for the account with gold. Any other child accounts and other adult silver accounts can play on this xbox with out the gold account being signed in. The backroom xbox
    is setup for the gold account to log into, this xbox is not setup for any account as home. So the only account that can really use it is the one that has gold which is my account. So I can play in the backroom while the kids play in the front. So what we do
    if both kids want to play on separate xboxes? I sign my gold account into the backroom and then allow one of the kids to also sign in. As long as the gold account is logged into the backroom both kids can play on either xbox. As for content it needs to be
    bought and downloaded by the account that has gold for everyone to have access to it on the home xbox. Hope that kinda gives you a picture of how it works.

    Can I be on Xbox 360 and ONE at the same time while on live?

    Depends on what your doing. I tried playing Madden 15 on my xbox one while my kids were playing minecraft on the 360 and no dice. I could play as long as I didn't sign in. It won't let me play Madden Ultimate Team unless I do sign in so....

    Yep. I have both my daughters using my old Xbox One X (which is setup as my home console) while I play on my Series X. Works a treat.
