What Setting needs to change to enable my child to utilize my Xbox Gold Live account

elizabeth4 · Dec 30, 2017

We have Family Settings on our Xbox One S account. As the adult, I purchased Xbox Gold LIVE, but my child cannot utilize the Xbox Gold LIVE and that is the only reason I purchased it! What setting and where is it located do I need to change to enable my
child to utilize what I purchased?

Can't edit privacy & online safety settings, but no parent account can

I've been trying to buy an xbox live gold subscription, but it said that my settings prevent purchases. When I went to "Privacy & Online Safety" in settings, I noticed that the "You can buy and download" setting was set to only free content. However, I can't
change any of these settings, and the parent account on my xbox can't change my settings either, it can only change my brother's profile's settings.

How can I enable myself to edit my privacy and online settings? Does it think I'm a child account without a parent? (In case it helps, my brother's profile was created first, then the parent profile, then finally mine)

Hello Somewhat2000,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. It appears as if your account's

online safety and privacy settings may be affecting your ability to play the game online. Is your account a child account? We suggest utilizing the article we provided to check your online safety and privacy settings for any restrictions. If your account
is a child account, the settings will need to be changed through the parent account that the child account is tied to. Be sure to let us know the results!

I'm trying to set up an Xbox Live or Microsoft Account (including Realms access for Child Accounts!)

You may need an active subscription to Xbox Live Gold, as needed by the game.

I hope it helps

I can't seem to let my child play online. I went to settings, but my child account isn't there. My child really wants to play online. Do you need Xbox Live Gold to play online? Can someone please help me?
