    Is there a way for me and my child to play games on different consoles at the same time if...


    For example, I downloaded Minecraft for them so my profile has to be logged in and it keeps making one of us log out for the other to play. Is there a way around this?

    Every time he wants to play a game I downloaded, both profiles have to be logged in (especially since GamePass is on my login). If we're both playing on the consoles, it makes me log out to be able for him to play. Since I downloaded the game, he can't play without me being logged in on the device he's using.

    :)

    multiple xbox One consoles

    I have 2 consoles in my house 1 is mine the other is my childs. We share games, games pass and xbox live through setting my childs xbox as my home xbox. This means i can sign into my own xbox with my profile and my child can play on their xbox with their
    profile. As my childs console is set as my home console they get all the benefits of my subscriptions/games without me being signed into theirs. This only works with 2 consoles and will work in different households.

    XBox Live

    Hi Onyx, i’m confused as to what you said; Whichever child has the Gold membership on their account should be set as Home on the other child's console.

    So, if child A has has the gold account then child Bs console should be the designated Home Xbox of child As account?

    Or do you setup child Bs console to list child As console as the Home Xbox?

    Also, can both Consoles be using the Gold account at the same time albiet with the childs individual profiles? I.e. both children can be playing multiplayer games at the same time using the same Gold account on their
    own console?

    thanks!

    Overwatch won´t start

    I have got the same issue. My child cannot sign in and play Overwatch on his account, even though I have an xbox live subscription on the Xbox One. The only way I can get into the game is to sign in as myself (the parent account) and start the game. One
    in the game then I press "X" to change profile. And then changing to my childs account sends me back to the Overwatch entry screen. But this time it lets him play.

    Can somebody help, this is a real pain as I need to be there to sign in if my child wants to play this game.
