Two Xbox Ones setup

I took advantage of the really good deals at Best Buy over the holidays and decided to get another Xbox One so we can play multiplayer games that aren't couch co-op and the kids can play when I want to watch television.

So, my only complaint is that I have to sign out of my main XB1 and sign on on the second XB1 so my kids can play digitally purchased games.

How do those of you who have Two XB1s have yours setup? I was thinking about making the second XB1 the "main" console. Would this take care of that problem? If I sign in to the first XB1, the non "main" XB1, would my kids be able to use everything on the
"main" XB1 without my profile being signed in?

Any tips or suggestions about having 2 XB1s in one house?

Two Xbox Ones ?

Also, if you are signed into your 2nd xbox (the non home xbox) other persons can also enjoy the benefits of gold on that console. That is how I let my two boys play together on 2 consoles. Neither has gold, but as long as I am signed into the xbox without
Home, both can play each other in minecraft for example.

Thanks for the info. Can I still get my gold features when I am logged into either xbox one boxes? Also where is this "home console" setting at?

 

Yes. This works. Just have the console your kids play set as 'my home xbox' and they can play your games on their accounts while you play your own console with your account.

 

like you mentioned... make the Xbox you normally would not play on (kids room) the "Home" console... this will give your kids access to anything you purchase under your screen name. Just be careful that you password protect your CC details etc as you
dont want them just "buying" stuff by accident

 

You can turn off auto sign in as well if your account signs in as soon as you turn it on.
