I can't play multiplayer in my Minecraft account.

Hi Daddy, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

Daddy, only you as a user or your parents can change the privacy settings of an account, to do this you must go to the link: https://account.xbox.com/settings

In case yours is a minor account, it will not allow you to make any changes to the settings from your account, you will need to have an adult include your account in a family group from the link: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-onli... and then that adult can make all the changes.

Note When you grant applications permissions on a limited console, they are saved only on that console. If you use multiple consoles, make sure you grant permissions to your applications on all of them.

Please note that this is just a public forum, I will respond in a short period of time as soon as possible, apologizing in advance for any delay in the response. I am simply a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others, I am not an employee of Microsoft.

Yes, you need Gold or Game Pass Ultimate (which includes Gold) in order to be able to play it online.

I have gold and still can't play multiplayer. Gives me the ''you cant play multiplayer games because of how your account is set up''.

I've tried things to do with my firewall, my account isn't a child one, following different guides online etc.. Been trying to fix this for two days now and i can't get it to work. It's not just on minecraft either, i have the same error when trying to play any multiplayer game

Hey, there!

Thank you for contacting us and welcome to the Microsoft Community.

My name is Darhyl. I'm an Independent Advisor and I will do my best to help you sort this out.

I'm sorry you are experiencing any trouble right now. No worries, I'm here to help you. If I may ask, are you able to access your Microsoft account on account.microsoft.com?

If so, nothing to worry about, in order to manage your Xbox privacy settings please follow the instructions:

Sign in to your Microsoft account at Xbox.com.

Select your gamertag, and then select the More actions button (…).

Select Xbox settings, and then select Privacy & online safety.

Note Because you’re accessing sensitive info, you may have to enter your password or PIN.

Select either the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 devices Online Safety tab or the Privacy tab.

Review the current settings and update all of the options as "Allow" and "Everyone", and then select Submit to save the changes.

Note You must select Submit at the bottom of the page before leaving or switching to another tab. If you don't submit the changes before you move to the other tab, your changes won't be saved.

Here's the reference link: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-onli...

Please let me know if it works.

Hi Francia,

I did set those settings for my son's profile, but when he goes into Minecraft, it still tell's him that he can't play multiplayer because of his account settings.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

A
