    Screen settings across 2 consoles


    I have an XBox One S and an Xbox One X in my household. The S is hooked up to our main TV and the X to a gaming monitor in a downstairs office. I noticed that while playing Destiny 2 and Star Wars Battlefront 2, that the game screen seems a bit zoomed
    in while playing on the S on the main TV.

    I guess my question is, if I change the settings on one console does it translate automatically to the other? If this is the case is there a way so that I can have separate screen size settings for each console? My only guess as to why this is happening
    is that I had bought both of these games AFTER getting the X console for downstairs. I can't recall if either game went through a screen calibration process. But if they did, I'm thinking that since I sign into the same gamertag on both consoles, it's simply
    using my screen preferences linked to the gamertag regardless of the console I'm using.

    If anyone has had a similar problem, let me know if you were able to fix it.

    Thanks!

    :)

    Transfer data question.

    Hi, to transfer content licences associated with your console you must sign in to the console with the profile used to purchase the content. Once signed in go to Settings > account > billing options and select licence transfer following the on screen instructions to transfer the licences to the new console so other profiles can use the content. Content can not be transfered across profiles only across consoles - hope this helps

    Xbox One Game Sharing with 2 People and 4 Consoles

    My brother and I both have 2 Xbox One consoles each. I would like to know if the game sharing feature will work between all four consoles or if that feature will only function on 2 of the 4. If it can function across all four, how would we go about setting
    that up with the "home xbox" setting?

    Gamepass Ultimate on my 3 xboxes

    No. Sharing is tied to the Home setting and it's only possible to set 1 console as your Home at a time. Across 3 consoles, you would need an Ultimate subscription on at least 2 accounts.

    Digital download across 2 consoles

    Hi,

    Yes. As long as they are using the same account on both consoles then they can be played on either.

    Installation problem across 2 consoles

    Hi Blak Vanillaman,

    Greetings!

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    We understand that you need help with installing a game on your Xbox series X console.

    Here are the possible troubleshooting that might help you.

    1. Check for console system update. To do this, follow the steps: press the Xbox button  to open the guideProfile & system> Settings > System > Updates

    2. Power cycle the console: Shutdown the Xbox console then unplug everything that's plugged in after that wait for 2-3 minutes before to turn it on

    3. If you're connected via WiFi, you may try to connect your Xbox console through wired by using ethernet cable.

    For more information: Troubleshoot game or app installation problems on your Xbox console | Xbox Support

    Major issue with xbox live advertisements, Need a response or help from MS employees or live members on what to do?

    Have you considered changing from Standard dashboard content to Family?

    -

    Go to live.xbox.com/.../Settings and scroll down to Content Controls. Select Family and then save at the bottom of the screen.

    -

    This can also be done on your console. Sign into the profile you want to change and across all the way across to Settings. Pick Privacy and then Change Settings. You can now choose one of three default Settings or Customise your own. If you pick customise,
    you scroll down to Content and pick Filtering to change from Standard to Family.

    -

    Now back out to the selection screen and pick Save and Exit.

    -

    Either way will give you family friendly content on your dashboard.
