What Security Setting does a child need to play online with his friends

It will share your Xbox live gold with your kids but will only show the subscription active under your account in the subscriptions in settings.

Is it saying that they need to buy xbox live? This means that console is not set as your home console.

Is it saying that this profile does not allow playing online? This would be in the online safety and security settings that you would need to allow them to play online multiplayer.

Now there is One publisher (EA) that I am aware of that no matter what settings you have set for your Child accounts they will not be able to play their games online.

Here is a link on how to change the online safety and security settings this link will show you how to do it online and on the xbox console itself

What error message does your friend get?

If it's a message about how his profile is set up, he needs to go to
https://account.xbox.com/settings and set up his online and privacy settings to allow multiplayer with others as well as seeing creations made by others. You need to do the same.

If your friend (and/or you) get a page about adding a child account to a parent account, your parents need to go to
https://account.microsoft.com/family and add each other's respective child account to their family account. Then the parent has to go to https://account.xbox.com/settings and
set up the online and privacy settings for their kid.

If they get a network related error message, your friend needs to check his Xbox console under the network settings, that they have an open NAT.

Additionally, you can also open the Xbox App on your Windows PC and check that your NAT is open.

Hi there, unfortunately no, to create an account so that they can play online needs to have an email address for security purposes, no one can see this email so it's not like they would get unsolicited emails from other users, but you can save the email
and password to the console so your child doesn't know those details as well as changing their security settings for what content they can see online, who can interact with them etc.

More info on adding the child here:

and changing account online security here:
support.xbox.com/.../xbox-one-manage-privacy-and-online-safety

they (or you if they have Child Accounts) may need to check the Privacy and Security settings to make sure that online play is allowed.

the following link should help if that is the issue

hope this helps

Does your grandson have a Gold subscription? As it is needed to be able to play online.

If he has a child account then the parent account will need to change the settings to allow for online gaming.
