My Gamer tag has a space so now I cannot join some games.

Hey there, MicPro6502

Awesome! I am glad it has worked for you, and thanks for the compliment.

Hey there, MicPro6502

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

When writing commands, please try using an underscore "_" where there would be spaces in your name. This is what we use when we a programming, especially when spaces are not allowed to be used for variables.

Does this work?

Alternatively, they may have used a command to remove all white spaces, which is another common trick. Thus, you could try entering your name in without the spaces and see what happens. Or you can surround your name in quotes. For example, "gamertag with spaces"

Hi Nathan

Sorry But that doesn't work.

Hi Nathan,

I tried again it worked Thanks You're the Best!

If it is coming up with the same message that it is taken then that means in some way that gamer tag is in use like drifterx22 said.

The system does not see capitalization and spaces so:

MyXomoTag

myxomotag

My Xomo Tag

and any other variation no matter where you put the spaces or the capitalization would be the same gamer tag and it would not be available.

With that amount of letters there could be probably over a million different ways to try and put it in with different spaces and capitalization.

Also if the enforcement team at any time has decided the gamer tag to be against the code of conduct then the gamer tag would be taken out of circulation and NEVER be able to be used again.
