Problem with Family access to Xbox Live Gold

I have recent bought a Xbox one s for my son.

I have set up an account/ Profile for myself and my son and set him as a family member and sorted out the settings for age etc.

I bought Xbox Live Gold, so he can play the Fortnite game, however as I have bought Xbox Live Gold under my account, he can’t access it and play the game through his Profile!

Please devise of the change I need to make.

Many thanks

Microsoft just ended the Family Plan for good

Microsoft sent this announcement via e-mail to all Family Plan members. This is terrible for people who have more than one console. Also note (in bold) that this answers the questions about the Gold Live sharing on multiple consoles. So if you plan to throw out your 360's and game library and have you family glued to one Xbox One then you are good. Once you go that friends house your family cannot play in Live on either console unless you have an additional sub. Terrible.

 

Xbox One Price drop

I think so yes but for a single xbox, it takes the single live account and all users can access features behind the paywall as if they had gold on that console.

arthurdentpc has 3 xbox's tho, and the old "family" bundle allowed each user to effectively have their own gold membership, so gold on each user which translated to gold on each console, now its gold to anyone on the single xbox....

So I assume on single xbox families the new system is much better, but on multiple xbox families its not as good. Its not super clear tho how this new gold system will work on xbox one, but it does read like arthur is shafted rather unfairly in this new scenario.

 

Make sure you have the console set as your Home console. My Home Xbox Setting on Xbox One | Share Your Xbox One

 

thank you for your note. I have set it as home...

....any other ideas?
