    Two xbox consoles, how to set up logins and xbox live


    Hi, I am struggling to find out the best way to set up two xbox consoles. I have set up family members within my account, therefore there is my account with xbox live attached and my two kids accounts so they can login on the one (home console) and use xbox
    live. But the second console the xbox live doesn't work. Is there any point in setting up the family members? How do I get xbox live on the second console, does this need to be purchased again but I can't purchase on my account?

    thanks Chris

    :)

  2. How many Xbox live subscriptions do I need for 3 consoles?

    Thank you! Given that, if we have two Xbox live accounts and set two consoles as home (one for each account) couldn’t we have 4 Xbox one consoles running? The guests would just have to use the “home” consoles and we use the two extra Xbox one consoles and
    login with the Xbox live accounts ... right? Many thanks in advance

    Two xbox consoles, how to set up logins and xbox live

    Hi there

    the family setup is mainly to be able to 'control' the child accounts, like for example setting screen time and what they can and can not do etc. Unfortunately it's not used to Share a Gold subscription across family members.

    Regarding Xbox Live Gold or any other subscription, that in general is per account and can be shared across the Home console so other accounts are able to use the features.

    If you would like the kids accounts to be able to play Online on both consoles, then a possible option would be to get Gold for one of those child accounts and have that account set the other console as Home console, so Gold will be available on that console
    for all other accounts too.

    Hopefully that answers the question on how to get Gold on both consoles in your situation.

  5. Besides what WPAK said the ONLY other way for them to use your gold sub on ANY none HOME console would be to have an account that has gold signed in at the same time as they are.

    The Microsoft Family Con!

    Ok, simply put

    Child One has Xbox Live Gold and games.

    Child two has their own console.

    Child one sets child twos console to their home xbox. Thus allowing the sharing of child ones Live Gold and games.

    Child one signs out and ensures auto login is switched off on child twos console.

    Child one can login on any other console and have access to their games and Live Gold etc.

    Edit: You can only have one Xbox console set as your Home Xbox console. As soon as you set another Xbox console as Home Xbox, it cancels the other out. So all having the 3rd console set as Home Xbox will wipe the other Home shares out.

    Yes the Home Xbox is designed for use on one console and it will work as described with two consoles in the house. A third console would need its own Xbox Live account for the third person to be able to use Live Gold etc.

    Unfortunately there is no way around digital transfers between accounts.

    Microsoft Family is only for you asa an adult to be able to monitor your childrens accounts, as long as they are set up as the correct age and not attempting to bypass the restrictions that a child account has.
