    Need Help - Setting up two Xbox Ones in 1 house for 4 Family Profiles to share and play on...


    Request assistance in setting up two xbox ones in one house with 4 Profiles to share and play on either Xbox ones. We have had one Xbox One in our Family Room and are using Xbox Live. Game play all have been able to use the same Xbox Live Account. I have bought another xbox so either of my Daughters or Myself can play on either console using the Xbox Live Account at the same time. I have read up that I should mark the new Xbox (Office) as HOME which I did and it ported the profiles from the Xbox (Family Room). I can play on either. My Daughter L tried to play and got Need to buy xbox live error. In result, we purchased another 12 month subscription for her (which I don't think I needed to). She can now play on line on either box. My other Daughter J tried to log in on the Family Room and Office Xbox but got the same error that she needed to buy xbox live. Something is off. I am hoping someone can help in how the two Xboxes should be set up to share and if fixed as for the separate account under L do we leave this alone or can we transfer back to me to extend my subscription. First is to address the setup to confirm if we set this up correctly. My Daughter L had the Family Room Xbox marked as her HOME which I had her take that check off.

    Thank you.

    :)

    Post here if removing DRM & check ins brought you back!

    Family sharing was a joke. What good is it if you can't play the game at the same time. Family sharing = 1 console playing at a time. Not buy 1 game and have all 4 consoles in you house playing together. Are you going to wait 2 weeks for cousin Jim to beat
    Halo5 so he can share it with you? Not me I want to play it ONLINE on the day of LAUNCH with my FAMILY. Not possible w/ family sharing. People are so uneducated.

    Everything to know about Xbox Series X|S (Except how to get one)

    Question currently i have 2 xbox ones in the house only one console can be a family set up to share game pass and live with the family.

    When I get the series X will this allow me to set the X and the one as 2 separate family devices?

    New set up

    Each of your kids would need to have their own profile (linked to separate email addresses) if they want to earn their own achievements, etc. They do not need to know their passwords, you can set the console up to remember the passwords when they sign in
    if you like.

    You can set the console to only log in one profile at a time. Any other profile would need to be logged in as each person plays.

    On the Xbox One, you can share one Gold membership among all the family. Head to Settings and scroll right until you see Add to Family. You can add each family member there to set up sharing. If the game supports split screen multiplayer then both kids
    can play at the same time. Examples of games that support split screen are Minecraft and Disney Infinity 2.0.

    I am unable to play a game on my two xboxes at once.

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    Just a friendly reminder though that setting up a family setting does not mean that the game and subscriptions will be shared to their account, it is a feature where you can manage a child account.

    Good thing you have the white one set as Home Xbox, you should be able to play with any of the two profiles because you're sharing the subscription from there.

    1. Sign in to your account on the white one.

    2. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    3. Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.

    4. Check "Make this as My Home Xbox".

    Once done, click your Gamerpic click "sign out", try again after that.

    Hi!

    For content sharing (for family use) you need to set profiles within the "family". Both profiles can use all content installed (where possible, some dlc are only binded to the main profile) and Gold.
