My Xbox keeps telling me my settings don't allow me to play online. Go to...

It tells me that the current profile I'm using isn't allowed to play on Xbox live. My family settings are telling me that I am able to play online but I can't...

Ok, I couldn't fix the issue from Xbox easily. Had to login with my laptop to my Xbox account via a browser.. . Checked settings, check ked a box which had nothing to do with playing online but was a "allow others to view your play online via livedsteam" box. This is NOT online play related in the tech world. And why wouldn't this relate to every game I'm playing online then?

Fix your obscenely maze designed privacy settings Microsoft... good lord.

Thank you for the reply.

No, that was not the case. I live alone. I did not create the account as a child account. I created it as an adult account.

Your online security options are obtuse.

also, Your messages should point to what option exactly is creating the problem, not the area within in lies that has multiple options.

(No offense to you directly as sure you didn't design and program the whole thing).

And maybe this issue lies upon the individual game//programmers/company to report what the actual problem is.... might not be a Microsoft problem.

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good morning

the problem is that if your account was originally created as a child's it does not allow you to see the options that need to be changed unless another adult account takes over your account and changes them for you.

Im having the same problem too and yes i have my xbox set for offline mode and app is downloaded .. But yet it keeps telling me to go online
