    How to set up family account for multiple users?


    Hello, we are new users and new to the XBox platform.

    1. How do we set up a family account with multiple members, so the family member can just select their profile and begin playing? It asks for a password every time.

    2. How do we install the games so that every family member can play it? The games begin to launch, but then say "the member who installed the game must sign in".

    If we have to wipe everything and start over, I think we can do that.

    Thanks,

    Dad

    :)

    Unfortunately each account needs to be signed in; however you can always let him play on a guest account instead. You can set parental controls on a guest account as well; we actually have a guide for it here: Guest Restrictions

    Hi Miss Kleo!

    Thank you so much for replying. I tried changing his hotmail password, but I still can't sign in on the Xbox :-(

    Hey there ShapedPrism91! Did you just create the Xbox LIVE account? Did you create the account online or on your console? As a first step, you may want to try
    changing the password associated with your sons account to see if this alleviates the issue. Let me know if this is an option for you!

    I too would love to see Family Gold or Family Library or something like that for multiple users on multiple consoles in a family. We have a similar set up in our house with a mess of kids and multiple consoles, but my Home Xbox is the only one with all my
    games available for the kids to play.

    There is a team at Microsoft that works on Family features like this, and I hold out hope that someday soon they'll bring this capability to Xbox.

    Fingers crossed!
