I cannot give my kids permission to play multiplayer on minecraft

Hello. I am trying to play minecraft with my kids. i bought them a copy of minecraft en made new emailadresses for them. These emails are in my family app control. They are able to install and play it in singleplayer mode but not in multyplayer mode. For multiplayer i need to give them acces. I cannot seem to find or enter de right menu/app/website for that.

I think the problem is that they dont have their own pc's. They play on my work laptop. So i cannot link a system/machine to their accounts. So i cannot manage their app security.

Is there a way around this or do i forget something? I would like to leave them under my parental control because they are still young.

:)

I am sorry to hear that.

You can enable the multiplayer for Minecraft from the Xbox Family Settings app on your mobile device.

Have you tried to do it this way?

In the Xbox Family Settings app:

Go to Settings > In Enable Minecraft > Select Allow this game.

Turn on Multiplayer to let a member play online with others

Enable Clubs so that a member can create and join Minecraft Realms servers.

To download the Family App: https://www.xbox.com/apps/family-settings-app

I hope this helps.

Because Xbox 360 edition for minecraft is not supported anymore, I think you are only able to play local co-op instead of online multiplayer. I could be wrong though. If minecraft Xbox 360 does support multiplayer co-op, then the problem could be that
your kids have child accounts and their permissions for online multiplayer is turned off. I hope this helps!

It’s Minecraft, that’s really the only game I play with multiplayer. I have all of my permissions turned on.

Having issue getting my sons profile permission to play online. His profile is set to teen, allowed to play online multiplayer but when he tries to play online Minecraft Xbox One Edition he gets an Xbox notification saying he cannot due to his settings.
What's to be done anyone?

I have made adjustments from PC as well, but they have had no affect. For example, I removed app content limits altogether. Also, everytime my kids try to to play minecraft, for example, I have to give permission every time. I click always allowed every
time. It just doesn't seem to stick
