  1. My Home Xbox Issues


    I have 2 xbox ones in my home, one in my own room and one in the living room for my kids. I just recently learned about My Home Xbox, giving the ability to play the games I purchased through my account via xbox live store, on one other xbox one by changing
    it to My Home Xbox. Little did I know though, you can only change it 3 times....smh..... I wasn't aware of this and now my Home Xbox is downstairs in my living room and I wont be able to play my collection of digital games in my room without being disturbed
    or disturbing my kids as they sleep or do their homework..... This idea was great but the limit is ridiculously low being that some people may be in my situation with multiple Xbox Ones in their home. Is there a way to fix this or must I was 365 days just
    to change it back to the one in my room? As far as I know, unless I have that ability to change it I cannot play any of my digital games without being on that specific xbox, which is stupid since I did pay for the game and the consoles in my home and should
    have the ability to have at least 2 xbox ones designated as my home xboxs as long as they have the same IP address. Please someone help me.... this is frustrating.

    :)

    Here is a quote from another thread on this topic.

    Hey there XXXXXXXXX, we had the right teams look into this. If you see this message regarding being unable to save changes, it means your
    Home Xbox One console has hit the limit for the number of accounts that have set your console as their Home. In order to set your console as your
    Home console you would need to have some other account(s) remove that console as their Home.

    I would agree if it hadn't told me I had some left.

    If you want that counter reset then you will have to contact support directly as they are the only ones that can do it. support.xbox.com/.../contact-us

    Or you can take the one your account is tied to and switch it with the other one.

  6. If you have two xbox ones, set the console in the living room to be your home xbox. This will grant anyone access to your digital content. When you sign in to xbox live on the console in your room only you will have access to the digital content and only
    when you are signed in to xbox live. Note: if your account is signed in on the second xbox (the one in your room). Other signed in accounts will have access to your digital content again.

    There should be no need to change back and forth between home consoles with this setup unless multiple users need access to digital content on both xbox ones and you don't want your account signed in on the second xbox.

    No, you can't get arount it as its a safeguard to prevent unautorized account/game sharing.. in order for your brother to access your games and content without being logged into your account the console he plays on has to be set as your "home console/xbox"
    the three switches per year is to prevent unautorized use of the feature.. as I understand it the home console function is meant to allow sharing of games/content by people living under the same roof.. I would not recomend trying to work around this by giving
    your brother access to your live account as this would fall under the term "account sharing" which is against the tou & coc and will result in an account and/or console ban.

    You may need to sign in with the account on the console just to refresh the games maybe ?

    Hello @donathanhiggs, I hope everything is going well for you!

    Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support.

    I am very sorry to know you are having such conveniences. Please do not worry about the situation because I am here to help you out!

    According to the explanation you have provided, I believe you will only need to follow those simple steps that I will provide you with and your issue should be fixed.

    The first step you will need to follow is to ensure that your home console is set up correctly, so please follow the link bellow:

    Designate a home Xbox | Xbox Support

    After you make sure that the account you have the subscription is set up correctly please sign out or switch profile, then sign in with the account that does not own the subscription.

    The second step is to make sure that you are signed in with two different profiles.

    Please make sure that the profile that does not own the subscription is the one signed in on the console you made the home xbox. As for the account that owns the subscription can be signed on the other console.

    I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

    Kind Regards

    Stay safe, and happy gaming!

    If you’ve made five home Xbox switches for the year and you need assistance, select Help when you see the message Can’t make this your home Xbox. You may be eligible to receive an exception. If
    you don't see a survey, you'll have to wait for your limit to reset on its own.
