    How do you keep my son from sharing his real name with friends in Minecraft?


    Hello, When my son tried to connect with his friend as a "Friend" in Minecraft, the checkbox to share his real name with him was checked, and it was impossible to uncheck it. How do you uncheck it or have it set so he does not share his real name?

    I looked at this, but I was unable to follow it. I'm not sure where I am supposed to find the Xbox icon, and the menu was different when I tried to follow it in account.xbox.com/settings.

    Please let me know how I can do this. Thank you!

    :)

    Change my childs name on Xbox

    Hi Danny,

    if I have my real name and surname in "How you look" but "block sharing my real name with friends", will it still show what is written in "How you look" (which in this case
    is also my real name) or will not show anything apart from my gametag?

    What I am trying to understand is if when you block sharing your real name it actually stops sharing what's written in the "How you look" tab, or if stops sharing your "real
    name" (known from somewhere else in my registration).

    Thanks

    How do You Remove Real Name on Dashboard Log-in?

    Hi again, so I was having a think about this because recently my Xbox has been asking me to setup real name sharing which I keep refusing. I can't remember seeing my real name in the account sign-in menu which made think that what if you disabled sharing,
    assuming you have it on?

    Disable real name sharing

    You can turn off name sharing at any time from Settings:

    1.Go to the Home screen.

    2.Press the Menu button on your controller.

    3.Select Settings.

    4.Go to Privacy & online safety.

    5.Select Custom.

    6.Scroll right to the desired setting:

    ◦Share my real name

    ◦Share my real name with friends of friends

    Have you played with the above settings? Maybe give that a go, above information from here:
