Unable to join multiplayer Minecraft

Thanks for taking the time to share the screenshot! Yes, that is for sure because of your Xbox profile privacy settings.

Unfortunately, since you have a child account, you cannot change your Xbox profile privacy settings.

You will need to ask your parents to add you to their family group again and then set your privacy settings to allow you to play multiplayer games:

And also, changing your Microsoft account birthdate will not allow you to change your Xbox profile privacy settings. The Xbox profile birthdate is set when you create your Xbox profile and never changes.

Changing the birthdate on your Microsoft account does not change it on Xbox. So there is no other way around it. I'm sorry about that.

Sorry for the wait! Something came up. From what you're saying and what I'm seeing, it does seem like a privacy setting issue. I admittedly don't know much about family groups and permissions, so I wasn't sure if I could change my own settings after I left my family group or not.

This is what comes up. It's not exactly an error message because the multiplayer button is unclickable, but this is the message that comes up when I put my cursor over it.

Thank you for your help so far!

Thank you for your help! I'll make sure to rejoin the family group and ask my parents.

Hello, impywimpy. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Would you please share the exact error message that you receive when trying to play Minecraft multiplayer?

If it is related to the privacy settings of your Xbox account, you will not be able to change it. Child accounts cannot change their privacy settings, doesn't matter if they are on a family group or not.

If it is indeed related to privacy settings, an adult account will need to add you to his family group and change your account privacy settings:

Waiting for your kind reply.

Hi, my son is having the same issue being unable to join his friend’s minecraft realm when invited. The privacy settings are already set to allow multiplayer, join clubs etc and I renewed the Xbox live gold subscription.

I’d be so grateful for some help please?!
