good evening

In order for your son to send friend requests on Xbox, you need to set up family settings and assign him as a child account. Here's how you can do that:

Go to the Xbox website and sign in with your adult account.

Click on the "Settings" button and select "Family" from the menu.

Click on the "Add a Family Member" button and enter your son's email address to invite him to the family group.

Once your son accepts the invitation, you will be prompted to set up his account as a child account.

You can set up specific restrictions and controls for your son's account, such as the games and apps he can access, and the times he can use the Xbox.

You can also manage your child's account and settings on Xbox console, go to settings, then select Accounts, then Family, and then select the child account you want to manage.

Please note that, as the adult, you will need to approve friend requests before your son can add them. If your son is still having trouble, you may want to check the settings you have applied to his account to make sure they are correct.

Hi, my son is having the same issue being unable to join his friend’s minecraft realm when invited. The privacy settings are already set to allow multiplayer, join clubs etc and I renewed the Xbox live gold subscription.

I’d be so grateful for some help please?!

My son and his 2 friends are trying to play Minecraft together by joining the same world. My son is hosting on his android-device, and have sent a invitation to each of his friends.

We have tried the following:

Case 1: "Friend 1" gets the invite, and joins the game. "Friend 2" gets the invite, at tries to join the game, but gets a time-out.

Case 2: "Friend 2" gets the invite, and joins the game. "Friend 1" gets the invite, at tries to join the game, but gets a time-out.

Case 3: "Friend 1" creates a game, and "Friend 2" joins and can play. My son tries to join but gets a time-out.

The maximum player-limit is 10, and they are 3 players in total.

What can be the problem, when both of his friends can join individually to my sons game, but when they try to join the same game one of them gets a time-out?
