How do I enable a child’s account to invite friends?

Hey georgiaholder,

What is the exact message prompt that pops up? I've had issues in the past where the game would tell me my family account settings didn't allow me to invite and join friends and such, even though my account isn't tied to any, but it was fixed after restarting
the game. Minecraft can be buggy sometimes.

Sorry to hear it. Is your account a child account? If so then the parent account will need to allow friend invites to your account

First, please try another browser to see if it's a problem with the browser. Start > Edge or Internet Explorer.

----------------- Otherwise....

This means your Xbox account is a child/teen account. If your Xbox account is a child account that can't be changed in any way as the date of birth is permanently connected to the first date of birth entered when creating your Microsoft account. If that
is so, you will need an adult to create an account,
invite you to a family group and change some privacy settings for you.

If your Microsoft account is an adult account you may be able to access the page to change privacy settings but any changes will not take effect for real if your xbox account is a child account.

If both are a child/teen account that page will take you to a page about adding a child account to a family.

On your adult account go here
https://account.xbox.com/Settings and click on the child's account and allow the option on the first page called "Share stuff people make (Xbox 360: Member Content)" to everyone (must be everyone). Also, on the first page, "Others can communicate with voice,
text, or invites" to Friends or Everybody. And on the xbox one/windows 10 tab the second option down, "Join multiplayer games", enable that. Then enable joining clubs. And then log out and in on the account in question on the console/device and that account
can play online and join clubs.

This is a problem caused by not having a specific setting enabled in your privacy settings. Either this was changed manually or your xbox account is a child account, and if it's the latter, your age can not be changed in any way (microsoft account age won't
change this) and you must have an adult make an account, invite you to a family group and change the settings for you as follows:

On your adult account go here https://account.xbox.com/Settings and click on the child's account and allow the option on the first page called "Share stuff people make (Xbox 360: Member Content)" to everyone
(must be everyone). Also, on the first page, "Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites" to Friends or Everybody. And on the xbox one/windows 10 tab the second option down, "Join multiplayer games", enable that. Also on the xbox one/windows 10 tab
enable "You can create and join clubs".

And then log out and in on the account in question on the console/device and that account can play online and join clubs.

If your microsoft account is an adult account you may be able to access that page but any changes will not take effect for real if your xbox account is a child account.

I am not a part of a Family Pack or have a child account. I entered my correct birthday which is in 1992. I think the User Content setting is enabled. How do I access that? I'm sure it's enabled, but I want to make sure. How do I re-download the GT to my
console? Thank you.
