    Sharing XBox Live with Family Members on one console


    Hello

    New to forum.

    I have purchased XBox Live for my son. Can he now share that with other family members?

    It was bought as a gift for him.

    Should I have set up an account on the Xbox myself, and signed up for XBox Live and then shared XBox Live with him?

    :)

    Multiple account questions

    Good news for you. An Xbox One allows membership sharing. That means that all members of your family can share the one Gold Membership across the accounts. This will not work for the 360.

    When adding the accounts to the new console be sure to add them to your Family to ensure that they will have access to Live service on the console.

    Xbox LIVE GOLD second user.

    Not according to this..

    "

    At home with Xbox One

    As an Xbox Live Gold member, you can share the benefits of Xbox Live Gold with others while they’re using your Xbox One console in your home. Friends and family can simply create their own account and gamertag on the console, which gives them the ability
    to enjoy Xbox Live online multiplayer gaming.

    Friends or family members with their own gamertags coming over to play? No problem. They can log in and play online multiplayer games, even if you sign off"

    and yet it will not allow him to play online.

    Xbox live and game pass on 2 consoles

    you can share gold and gamepass on both consoles and just pay a membership just have the profile on both consoles and turn on the sharing option, another option is to make a family account and on the main pay for the subscription and share with your children's
    accounts

    Sharing XBox Live with Family Members on one console

    Thanks for your replies. Does it matter that I set up an account first, and purchased some games? Will the games be accessible too even though they were bought under the original account?
