Trying to set up One S

My kids are trying to set up our Xbox One S to play fortnight and it's telling them to change a setting before it will let them play. They set it up with the same Hotmail account that we use for another Xbox One S. Is that the problem? We got this second
one so they can play together on Live. Help!

:)

 

I'm trying to set up my Xbox One S, but every 30 seconds or so it restarts on its own.

Problems with trying to set up Xbox one

I have been trying to change over from Xbox 360 to Xbox one using same email address and it's coming up saying need an adult to sign in as account is for a child which it is not. Never had issues with it before on 360 is anyone else having same problem?

 

As far as I am aware, each player will need to be logged in on an their own individual XBL account. And I don`t think that you can have two accounts using the same e-mail address.

 

^Yes. There should be an XBL profile for each person playing. If the game is a digital copy, then only one of the profiles should need to have a Gold account. That profile [Gold] should have Game sharing turned on in that console's settings.

Now for the 'tricky' part. Once you have one of the consoles and its profile set up with Gold and have sharing turned on (sharing should be on by default), then that person should set that console as their 'Home' console. The other person should set the
other console as their home console. Now each person should log out of their respective consoles and log into the other person's console.

Since game sharing allows anyone who plays on the Gold subscriber's console access to the games that Gold subscriber owns digitally, the other person will be able to play those games... and since the Gold subscriber can log into anyone else's console and
have access to everything s/he owns digitally, then they can both play online at the same time. It only works with digital games though, if it's a disc based game, each person will have to have their own game disc.

Hope this doesn't seem too confusing and helps out.

 

I can relate, i’m on Xbox one s and cant play fortnite. They say that I need to change some settings on Xbox.com bit I don’t know which settings‍♂️.

I’m so frustrated that I can’t play it. This also happens when I play NFS payback online but not when I play Rocket luege.
