    Not being able to play multiplayer games online because of how my account is set up


    Whenever I try to play a multiplayer game online on my Xbox One it says I can't because of how my account is set up and it can be changed in my privacy and onine safety settings on Xbox.com. But I pressed "allow" on everything on my settings (including Join
    Multiplayer Games) and it still won't work and still displays that message. How do I fix this? I want to be able to play multiplayer games?

    :)

    Cannot Renew Minecraft PE Realm

    When I go into Minecraft PE to renew my PE Realm, it says that I cannot play online multiplayer games because of how my Xbox Live account is set up. It says to go to Xbox privacy settings to allow online multiplayer gaming, which I did. This does not work,
    and my Xbox Live account is not linked to any devices. How can I renew my realm?

    Can't play multi-player minecraft xbox one

    I did everything I was supposed to and loaded up the game, went to play my 360 world and it says "You cannot play multiplayer games online because of how your account is set up. This can be changed in your privacy and online safety settings." I went over
    my settings and multi-player is allowed. I called Microsoft support and he went over my account settings five times saying it was set up spot on. In another words he does not know why this is happening and says it is not my account settings. He can't help
    me. None of my other multiplayer games ie. Diablos 3 Dead rising etc seems to have this problem just minecraft. Can someone please help figure out why I can't play minecraft multiplayer as this is the only reason I bought it for me and my hubby to play.

    Try checking your settings in your profile on both the console and xbox.com using this guide

    support.xbox.com/.../change-privacy-safety-settings

    In case everything is allowed in there, try removing your profile from your console and download it again. That may force an update of the settings and hopefully solve your issue.

    I have an adult Microsoft account and have allowed multiplayer in my settings but still cannot play multiplayer on Minecraft, what’s the deal with this?

    Yes, you need Gold or Game Pass Ultimate (which includes Gold) in order to be able to play it online.
    I have gold and still can't play multiplayer. Gives me the ''you cant play multiplayer games because of how your account is set up''.

    I've tried things to do with my firewall, my account isn't a child one, following different guides online etc.. Been trying to fix this for two days now and i can't get it to work. It's not just on minecraft either, i have the same error when trying to play any multiplayer game

    Multiplayer on Minecraft Xbox S

    Hello,

    I am trying to play multiplayer on the Xbox S, more specifically cross-platform play. I do not have Xbox live, but I don't need it to play. When I try to join it says that "You cannot play online multiplayer because of how your Microsoft Account is set up"
    but all of my privacy settings allow online gaming and multiplayer gaming. My account is also an adult account so it's not like I need permission. I tried everything, restarting my console and router as well as talking to the virtual agent. All of my settings
    give permission and I just don't know what the problem is.

    Thank you
