Sharing Gold account

ncg2015 · Apr 30, 2017

Hi, we have an xbox live gold account we use with our xbox. Is it possible for different profiles on the xbox to use this xbox live account? We have 3 kids and they all share a profile at the moment so they can play xbox live gold games, which is not ideal.

any ideas?

:)

Can You Play Online With Any Gamertag If

on the XBOX One if you have one gold account set as primary console you can choose to share gold with the other accounts on the console.

Question about xbox and W-Microsoft10

It was my understanding that all the users (family members using an XBO can share a Gold Account). So, eventually, your friend could play on the XBO with his MS account (if you have gold) and you could play on the PC.

Hi

On Xbox 360 each account will require its own gold subscription to allow online multiplayer but on the Xbox One as long as the account that has the gold membership has the console set as there home device most of the gold privileges including online multiplayer
gets shared with all other profiles on the console.

You can only share your gold with one xbox one console. However, because the account itself still has gold, as an option, you can share the gold with one console, and play with the gold account on the other. Also, as long as you are logged in to a gold account,
you automatically share the gold, so if you keep the gold account signed in on the unsharing xbox one, it will still effectively share gold.

When you share gold the accounts that are sharing the gold get access to online multiplayer. Only the account that purchases the gold gets access to things like gold discounts or games with gold games. However, the games with gold games can be shared once
downloaded.

My suggestion is that you make your son's profile the home Xbox. The account that has no gold should be set to home inorder to share the subscription.

No. The account with gold has to be the one to set the console as their Home in order to share. The account without gold setting the console as his Home would not effect sharing of the gold account.

I think I see the problem. The only account that is sharing is your Son's account since he is on your home console. Your account is on your daughter's but it's not your home console so it wont share. Does your family have a main Xbox they use? If so, I think
they will all have to play on that console for Gold to share.

For comparison my set up is:

Xbox 1X (Main):

My Account- With Gold

Spouse account - Without Gold (HOME)

Gold is shared if I am logged in

Xbox One(2)

My Account- WIth Gold (HOME)

Spouse account - WIthout Gold

Gold is shared without me logged in

Was the gold purchased on your daughter's account or does she share gold from someone else's account? Gold can be shared on the One via the Home setting, but not on the 360.
