Using XBOX Live/Gold from other accounts on console

rouge titan2722 · Nov 29, 2015

We have 4 accounts on our XBOX One and we entered the code for a 12 month subscription of XBOX Live/Gold on one of the accounts. That account is designated as "My Home Xbox" so we should all be able to access XBOX Live/Gold from our own accounts. But that's
not working. We can only access it from the account where we entered the code. How can I fix this so we can all have access to it?

Xbox One Price drop

I think so yes but for a single xbox, it takes the single live account and all users can access features behind the paywall as if they had gold on that console.

arthurdentpc has 3 xbox's tho, and the old "family" bundle allowed each user to effectively have their own gold membership, so gold on each user which translated to gold on each console, now its gold to anyone on the single xbox....

So I assume on single xbox families the new system is much better, but on multiple xbox families its not as good. Its not super clear tho how this new gold system will work on xbox one, but it does read like arthur is shafted rather unfairly in this new scenario.Click to expand...

If that is the case who gets to use their gold account on other machines? They've clearly said that. Just like now, your live subscription follows you to whatever Xbox console you use. So who on that original console can take their account to another console?

How can you tell if an account is the primary account? I know these are total noob questions I've only had my xbone for like 2 months.Click to expand... No problem. Using your account, you have to set the xbox as your home console. The first account you registered to the system the xbox will be attached to it as the home console.

Thanks I appreciate the help. I just rememebered the password for my old account from 360, but I wasn't paying another $50 for 2 gold accounts.

Hey there, rouge

When you try and play online on a non gold user, do you get any error messages?

Are you signed into your account, when they are signed into theirs?

You may want to have a look at this article here, as it talks though a bit about this feature. There may be something that you have missed off or that may help you resolve this problem you seem to be having. The link to the article is below:

Hey there,

It looks like the account you're posting from is an Xbox Live Silver account. Is there an Xbox Live Gold account on your Xbox One console that was sharing the Gold privileges with your account? With the Xbox One Home feature, you can share Xbox Live Gold
with any other account that is signed into that console, however that feature does not work on an Xbox 360 console, which is why you may notice that Gold features work on one console and not the other.

Keep us posted if that helps clear up what the issue may be.

While logged in with the account that has Live Gold, set the Xbox to be the Home console. Once you assign the Xbox as the Gold accounts Home console, the other accounts should be able to use Live Gold.

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out to us.

To clarify, I'm afraid there is no feature to transfer an Xbox Live Gold subscription from one account to another.

However, if you set this account that you redeemed Xbox Live Gold on as the
Home Console, you'll be able to share that active subscription with all users on that console!

Are you able to play online after setting this other account that you redeemed the Xbox Live Gold subscription on as the Home console?

Be sure to keep us posted!

Hi there,

there is not an option to share subscriptions in one household.

But since this is for 2 consoles, there is an alternate option.

You can use the Home console feature. If for example one of your kids accounts has a Gold subscription that account is able to use the Gold features on any console that is connected to Xbox Live.

That account is also able to assign one Xbox One console as their Home console, which will result that their Gold subscription is shared on that Home console, allowing other profiles on that Home console to use Gold features too.

See this link for more information in regards to Home console features:
https://support.xbox.com/xbox-one/xbox-live/xbox-live-gold-sharing-features

This will also be the case for other subscriptions and for digital purchased games.

In your situation, if child A has a Gold console, and assigns console 1 as their Home console, child B (and any other profile) will be able to use Gold features on console 1.

Child A will be able to use Gold features on any other console as long as the console is connected to Xbox Live (Internet)

Keep in mind that if their is a Service issue or internet issue, digital purchased games can only be played on the account's Home console.
