    Using two consoles at once


    We have teo xbox one consoles. Both have seperate log ins/profiles/subscriptions.

    My youngest got his first then my eldest got one.

    when one plays on his console it kicks the other one out? So they are unable to play their consoles at the same time ( they dont want to play together) . Does anyone have an idea of what i can do please?

    :)

    How to use two consoles

    Hi, Jack! Thank you for reaching out.
    I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.
    I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing issues game sharing with your family.

    To be able to share your games and subscriptions with your family members playing on the Series S, you'd need to:

    - Sign in with your account on the Series S
    - On your account, go to Settings > General > Personalization > My Home Xbox > Make this my home Xbox. This will allow other profiles on the console access to your purchased games and subscriptions.

    * If you are getting a "You started playing somewhere else" or a "You are already playing on a different Xbox" error, please pay special attention to the following points.

    - While still on your account, go to Settings > Account > Sign-in, security & PIN > and make sure your profile is not selected under "Instant sign-in" and "This controller signs in". You'll need to check "This controller signs in" for each controller your family members will be using on the Series S.
    - I'd also recommend creating a PIN for your profile and then selecting "Ask for my PIN" from the "Change my sign-in and security preferences" section. This way you'll be able to prevent users on the Series S from signing in to your account while you are playing on the Series X.

    If your settings were set according to the instructions above and you're still having issues, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me a bit more about what you are experiencing while playing on your Series X. I'd be happy to help.

    Best regards.

    Using Gold Memebership on two consoles

    Hi, all he needs to do is to download or move his profile onto the other console as described

    If he wanted to take his saved games etc with him he can simply copy those onto a usb memory stick and use them on the other console as described

    Using One Account on Two Consoles

    Yes. If everything is on your account, you would set his console as your Home so he can access your games and subscription on his account. Then you can use your console.
