    I find it surprising but I can't find an answer to my situation on here. I hope you all can help.

    I separated from my son's mother a while back. I'm looking to get a place of my own soon and to have my son to stay. I have an box Series X, he has an Xbox Series X at his mother's house. I'd like to get him an Xbox Series X for my house too so we can play together in different rooms. Before I do that, I'd like to know how I go about setting this up. I realise there is a "Home" console for every account. The problem is that his home account is at his mother's house and I want to be able to set him up at mine as well so he doesn't have to lug all the equipment to and from her house. How do I go about setting this up? I'd rather not have to buy a second account for him just to do this as he'll lose all his games when he stays with me.

    :)

    Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you today.

    If you want to play the games on both consoles at the same time you would have to have second account to do so. Regarding your game library you would need to set one of the consoles as a home console for your main account. This is the only possible way.

    Nothing to do with a bad configuration. All that needs to be done is his sons Xbox at his mothers house, to be set as fathers Home Xbox. Father will have to be signed in on the Xbox at fathers house.
    Yes I agree, and then I believe his Father can set his account on his Home Xbox (at the Mothers house) to require a passkey, if needed, so that his son can't go into his account and change/purchase/etc anything from his account. :)

    Son plays on my Xbox with my Gold account but is now getting a second Xbox for when he's at his mom's house

    you can only be signed in on one Xbox at a time, so if your son is using your account at his mother's you won't be able to sign in on your account on your Xbox.

    there are 2 options;

    1; your son starts his own account and you set his Xbox as your Home Xbox.

    2; your son continues to use your account and sets your Xbox as Home for that account and you start a new account.

    this link has all the info on setting up an Xbox as Home Xbox

    changing privacy and online safety

    I'm having exactly the same problem. My son has his Xbox One at his mum's house but his account is linked to mine so the only way I can change his settings to allow him to buy games with Xbox vouchers he has is through my account on xbox.com but it isn't
    working.
