1. On your Nintendo Switch, go to System Settings > Users > Add User.

2. Create a new user account and select "Sign in using a Microsoft account."

3. Follow the prompts to sign in to your Microsoft account and link it to your Nintendo Switch.



If you continue to have trouble, please let me know and I'll do my best to assist you further.

Try signing out of your microsoft account and signing back in on your nintendo switch.

Hello, I hope you are well.

Please try these steps.

To allow your daughter to play online on the Switch, it is essential to set up the game's content restrictions in the Xbox Family Settings app. After linking your Microsoft account to your daughter's account in the Xbox Family Settings app, you can change the content restrictions to allow online play.

Steps to set up online play on the Switch:

1. In the Xbox Family Settings app:

Sign in with your family organizer's Microsoft account.

Select the profile of the member you want to manage and go to settings.

Under Content Restrictions, select "Minecraft".

Enable "Multiplayer" to allow the player to play online.

Enable "Clubs" to allow access to Realms and other features.

2. On the Nintendo Switch (optional, but recommended):

Make sure your daughter's account has a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

Go to Family Settings on Nintendo Switch and make sure that online play restrictions are enabled for your child's account.

Hello AbbySpencer,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch is signing your cousin into your Microsoft account instead of your cousin's account. We do not provide support for the Nintendo Switch on the Xbox forums.
We recommend reaching out to
Mojang for assistance with signing out and signing in to Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch. We hope this helps!
