  1. Sharing XBOX live gold with brother not working?


    Hi everyone. I’ve done a lot of research on this and I am stumped. Here is what I have done:

    1. Set my brother’s Xbox live gold account as home Xbox on my console.

    2. Log into my non Xbox live account

    3. I can play all the games on my brothers Xbox live account, but I do not get his Xbox live gold subscription, as anytime I play multiplayer it tells me I don’t have Xbox live.

    4. A fix I saw online was to power cycle both consoles, did that and still I do not get the Xbox live gold from his account.

    This should be working but an issue I have thought of is I have an Xbox One S and he has an Xbox Series S. Does this make a difference?

    Any suggestions?

    :)

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

    Please try to resync your brother's Xbox profile to your console by following the steps below. Make sure that you know his account logins before doing these steps.

    REMOVE PROFILE:

    To remove a profile: From Profile & system, select Settings > Account > Remove accounts. Select a profile, then select Remove.

    POWER CYCLE CONSOLE:

    1. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

    2. Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.

    Important Be sure to wait at least 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

    3. Plug the console power cable back in.

    4. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

    RE-ADD PROFILE:

    To add an Xbox profile to a console, press the Xbox button to open the guide and go to Profile & system. Select Add or switch, and then select Add new and follow the instructions.

    Once done, make sure that his account is still set as Home Xbox on your console by following the steps below;

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    2. Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.

    3. Select Make this my home Xbox.

    Game share

    I get what you're saying; however, the brother would essentially just be using an unintended aspect of the game sharing feature.

    I cant connect to LIVE

    Greetings ghost huner148!

    To be able to share games, downloadable content purchased, along with Xbox Live Gold sharing features, to anyone who sign in on your console, there has to be at least one account tied to a Gold subscription and the console has to be set as the designated
    Home console

    Since you are able to take advantage of the Gold sharing features on your oldest brother's Xbox One console, this would then mean that he has a Gold subscription and with his console set at Home.

    According to your profile, it doesn't seem to be tied to Gold subscription.

    For more information regarding Xbox Live Gold sharing features on the Xbox One, please read:

    Is buying 1 game enough for 2 people in the same house?

    Zaknokimi,

    The digital process would work very similar to what you are already doing except on the Xbox One you designate a Home Xbox. The "Home" Xbox allows ANYONE on the console to enjoy the benefits of your gold subscription as well as the content on that Xbox.
    So for your particular case, you were treating your brother's console as your "Home" Xbox When you sign into live on your Xbox you have access to your content but only your profile. Your brother would have access to your content as well on your other Xbox
    designated as the "Home" Xbox.

    Here's some additional support information discussing how the new Home feature works:
