Question Regarding Xbox Live Account

Xbox Community Support Forums Staff:

As I'm sure, a lot of us are currently aware of the issue with Xbox Live Core services at the moment, but I have a question regarding my account. Sometime ago, my brother had contacted support through a phone call and had his account changed to where he didn't
HAVE TO sign in to Xbox Live in order to play games. My question is this: is it possible for me to change my account to the point of not having to sign in to Xbox Live every time I want to play a game?

I don't play online with other people over the internet that much and I think it would be very beneficial to be able to play the games I love, and not have to sign in all the time just to play a game. If it is possible to only sign in to Xbox Live when
I want to play online with others, then that would be fantastic!

However, due to the current technical issues with Xbox Live at the moment, I didn't know if I could have this resolved right now or not.

Thank you for your time!

:)

 

Anyone know how this would work? (Live related)

Hey everyone, looking for some info regarding xbox live accounts.. seeing as I couldn't find anything helpful on the xbox support page, i thought I'd try here.
My situation:
I am currently living away from home (out of the country actually) and will be for the foreseeable future. Im thinking of purchasing a new X1 since i left mine at home with my bro.
My question is, would I be able to play with or at the same time as my brother using a single Live account? I know if one of us tries to sign into the same GT the other is logged in as, it will ask us if we want to sign out (only 1 GT at a time).
However, since a gold account is shared on the home xbox. What if my brother signs in with a different GT and I sign in with the original GT( through which Live was bought)?

Second question:
Can I download and sign into by Xbox Live GT if i'm in a different country?

 

Beginner/Nub questions about Xbox Live...

1. What happens to a Gamertag that allows its Xbox Live subscription to run out, more specifically with regards to the name's availability to other users? (Like, is there a "grace period" where no one can use the name, to give the person time to get back on Xbox Live with that account?)
   
2. Is there some kind of rebate for a second Xbox Live account belonging to the same person / credit card?
   
3. If going that route (2 Xbox Live accounts on the same console), will there be anything associating the two in the eyes of the public?

Thanks.

 

Hey there, I'm not sure what you mean by 'didn't have to sign-in to Xbox Live' as you can just remove your internet cable if you don't want to sign-in to live?

Or do you mean you are being prompted to input your email and password every time you start the console? If so, you can change your sign-in preferences to automatic.

To turn the auto sign-in feature on or off, follow these steps:

1.Sign in to Xbox Live.

2.Select Settings, and then select Profile.

3.Select Sign-in Preferences.

4.Select Auto Sign-in, and then make the changes that you want.
