I can not sign up for MC Realms despite allowing everything in my account privacy settings

Struffel1 · Jul 6, 2018

Okay, so I want to sign up for Minecraft Realms on Windows 10. When I try to perform this action it tells me that I need to adjust my "privacy and online safety settings". So I went there (Sign in to your Microsoft account)
and just allowed everything, including "Add friends" and "Join Multiplayer session" But despite that it still does not allow me to sign up for realms.

My account is not connected to a family.

I am more than 18 years old.

I have already made several successful software purchases on the Microsoft Store.

Everything works, except Realms.

Cannot Renew Minecraft PE Realm

When I go into Minecraft PE to renew my PE Realm, it says that I cannot play online multiplayer games because of how my Xbox Live account is set up. It says to go to Xbox privacy settings to allow online multiplayer gaming, which I did. This does not work,
and my Xbox Live account is not linked to any devices. How can I renew my realm?

Can't play Minecraft Realms due to how my microsoft account is set up on xbox.com

Hello,
Salbatorix

Thank you for contacting Forum support!

Please make sure there is an active subscription applied for Realms, also make sure all your Privacy settings are set to "Allow/Everybody".

Here is a link that will show you the steps to get to

Xbox One online safety and privacy settings for parents and children. try to set the account settings to "Adult" then sign out of the account and sign back in.

Minecraft Realms (This link will give more information about realms and how to "Add friends" )

check out these two:

How to invite other players to your Realm

Please let me know if that works!

Thank you!

To change the Minecraft Realm privacy for everyone, follow these steps:

Sign in to your Xbox account.
Open the Xbox app and select “Minecraft.”
Select “Settings” and then “Privacy and security.”
Select “Change online privacy and security settings.”
Select “Everyone” to allow anyone to join your Realm, or select “Friends” to allow only your friends to join.
Save the changes.

So, I had set up the privacy settings on my account, and I just uninstalled and reinstalled the game and signed back in and it's still telling me that I can't join my friend's realm. what am I supposed to do, and yes I submitted the changed and they were all set to allow.

I have the same question, but for Minecraft. It states the following: “ You cannot play on realms because of how your Microsoft account is set up. This can be changed in your privacy and online safety settings on aka.ms/accountsettings “

I’ve “allowed” everything on the page it took me to but it’s still not working.

I'm experiencing this on PC.
Seems to only happen on Realms.

I've checked my Privacy settings just to be sure everything was allowed and it was.
