  1. Two Xbox live accounts from the same Xbox?


    hi there,

    Need help please. I’m new to Xbox live. Both my sons what to play together against their friends online, but only one seems to be able to, how do I set up another account on the same Xbox so they can add each other as friends and play together online with
    others.

    Thank you

    :)

  2. Beginner/Nub questions about Xbox Live...

    1. What happens to a Gamertag that allows its Xbox Live subscription to run out, more specifically with regards to the name's availability to other users? (Like, is there a "grace period" where no one can use the name, to give the person time to get back on Xbox Live with that account?)
    2. Is there some kind of rebate for a second Xbox Live account belonging to the same person / credit card?
    3. If going that route (2 Xbox Live accounts on the same console), will there be anything associating the two in the eyes of the public?
    Thanks.

    Can i use the same live account on two different consoles

    Using the account, you can only be signed into Xbox LIVE from one console. Not two at the same time, I'm afraid. The account can be used on two separate consoles if you're not signed into Xbox LIVE, though.

    Hope this helps!

    Two Xbox Live Accounts on Same Email

    Hello there!

    It seems that you have both account added on the same profile. One is the primary, while the other is secondary. In this case unfortunately both e-mail addresses will be linked to that profile.
