To change the privacy settings your account must be an adult account, otherwise you will not have access.

see in your privacy settings:

if your account is for a child, you need an adult account to link your account and manage your privacy settings

Hey there,

My name is Sparrow and I’m an Xbox Ambassador. I can try to assist you in this matter and hopefully give out the information you need.

Firstly I want to ask what console are you playing on, whether if it’s on Xbox or pc, if you’re playing on Xbox, you might not have Xbox live, Xbox live is required to play multiplayer. As a family setting, this shouldn’t affect it as the game is pg. but might be worth asking your dad to check privacy settings and see if you can play multiplayer. But first check if you have subscription for Xbox live.

Next, the merge situation, I understand that Minecraft you’re now able to merge accounts which you can play in one place. I do also know you’re unable to play Java on Xbox as it’s a different program, you can only play bedrock version on Xbox,

You’re able to login on merge on pc to play both and it should work multiplayer, making sure you’re connected to the internet.

Last question would be, what other troubleshoots did you try?

I hope I helped

Take care and continue to ask further questions if needed.

Hello @TriciaKok! I hope that you are doing well today!

It seems that your account is a child account. what you need to do to allow the multiplayer is:

1. Log in to Xbox settings with the parent Microsoft account.
   
2. Select the child account's profile.
   
3. Select Xbox One/Windows 10 Online and choose Allow for Join multiplayer games AND You can create and join clubs.
   
4. To enable chat for people not on the person's friends list, they will need to go to their privacy settings and enable Others can communicate .
   

I hope this helps you out!

You can create an account just to manage these options to add your account as "child"

Hello, thank you for taking the time to reply! I think I am on a child's account but I might have issues finding his password..
