how to add child to xbox live without a console so that minecraft realms work?

On a side note, my daughter does show up and none of the settings (to include setting her as an adult) allow her to connect to her realms.

Hi!

You can find Microsoft account privacy settings here (included the "Add friends" option):

https://account.xbox.com/settings

This guide explain how to set a Microsoft account in order to play Minecraft:

I'm trying to set up an Xbox Live or Microsoft Account (including Realms access for Child Accounts!)

I hope it helps

Regards

OK, I took another crack at it tonight and this worked for me. If you try it, please reply to let people know if it worked for you.

I stopped trying in https://account.xbox.com/en-US/Settings I moved to working in the console exclusively

In the console,

• I went into my Minecraft realm and sent an invitation to my child's account
• I exited Minecraft
• I made sure my child's account was signed out
• I logged into my xbox one with my account and went to settings --> Account --> Family --> Child's settings
• In the Account <child gamer Tag>'s privacy and online safety settings
• I went into privacy & online safety --> Xbox Live Privacy --> and changed it to Adult Defaults "More Social" & selected swich
• I went back 2 screens and went to Access to Content and then changed it to appropriate for ages up to 17

I left myself signed in and then signed in my child's account

From my child's account I went into Minecraft over to friends tab and accepted the invite and then logged into the realm, letting it load backup

Success!!!

OK, now to lock things back down

I quit out of minecraft

Signed off of my child's account

Went back into the child's settings:

Set the xbox privacy to Child defaults and hit switch

I then went view details and customize --> . communications & Multiplayer & Set allow for "you can join multiplayer games"

And then backed out of the profile.

To test:

I kept my account logged in

Signed into my child's account

Loaded mine craft and joined the realm

And it worked!

Also, my son who also plays on a windows 10 computer can get in as well.

Caveat - I hope this makes sense

We have 4 xboxes & 4 users in the house (excessive I know). 2 users have xbox gold accounts. When either of the two users without gold accounts login (without someone with a gold account already logged in) , they can get to Minecraft but not into the realm.
So, looks like you need an xbox gold account to use minecraft realms.

I hope this helps someone else. I conquered the error, but need to buy two more xbox gold accounts if I want all 4 people to be able to log into their own xbox and play in the realm. sigh.

Hey there! You're going to need to verify which version of Minecraft you have. There are two on the Xbox One that you could have.

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is no longer supported. It's playable, but it can't be found in the Store and does not receive updates. This version of the game does not have Realms access.

Minecraft/Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition/Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (All just different names for the same game) is the version with Realms that are cross-compatible.

Java version (only available on PC) is not compatible with Xbox.

If your child's friend has the Realm set up on the correct version of Minecraft, you just need a Gold Subscription. Realm hosts pay the monthly fee to keep the Realm online. The friend will need to invite your friend/add them as a Realm member from their
Xbox or PC, then your child will receive a little envelope thing on their Minecraft menu. That is the Realm invitation. Once that's accepted, they should be able to join the Realm.

Hello,

Im ,

Please Follow These Steps :

To invite your Xbox friends to join you in a Minecraft game, select the Play button on the main menu in Minecraft, select Members, and then select the Invite button next to your friend’s name. To invite Xbox friends to play in Microsoft Realms, see Minecraft Realms and Realms Plus page.

If you need to add someone as an Xbox friend so you can invite them to play, see How to add new Xbox friends.
