    Why do I have to sign in for others to play on xbox one???


    Okay, that was really general, here's the issue, please help as it's driving me nutz...

    We have two XB1s in the house. One for me, one for the kids. I downloaded Minecraft for the kid on their XB1. Now, when I downloaded it I did it under my profile. When my kids want to play, I have to provide my PIN and sign in, which then boots me off my
    XB1. As soon as I go back to my XB1 to play any game, not even Minecraft, the kids get booted off Minecraft on their XB1 as I have logged back into my XB1.

    Both my kids have full gold memberships too, just like me. Why would I have to be signed in on their XB1 for them to play Minecraft? Does it matter that Minecraft was purchased and downloaded under my Xbox Live account? And if so, why the hell would that
    matter, especially since both my kids have gold memberships? Do I not own the game now, and cannot anyone play that I want them to? What the hell is happening, please help me...

    This is really pissing me off, a lot...

    :)

    Xbox, please make our profiles available offline rather than needing internet... thanks

    Here is my idea. I have been sitting here trying to sign into my xbox one... but xbox live is having problems which is fair enough, it happens. I have been an xbox customer since at least 2006 so I have experienced plenty of these.

    But what I want to know is... why do I need to have an online connection to be able to sign into my gamertag on my xbox one? Why can't they just make it how the 360 is and let us sign into our accounts offline and it lets us play our games whilst they go fix
    xbox live? I am sitting here wanting to play games on my xbox one but why should I need to wait for xbox live to be running for me to sign in? Anyone else agree?

    Netflix and Amazon Prime, one account 2 xbox. Help

    Hi all

    I have two xbox one and want to be able to watch Netflix or amazon prim on one xbox and play games on the other at the same time, the problem is I can not run the apps without a xbox live account and I can not sign in as I am already signed in on the one I play games.

    why can I not sign into the apps without a xbox live account as this is annoying and I just can not get this to work

    any help thanks

    If you sign into their xbox and make that YOUR home xbox in setting and then sign out they will be able to play without you being signed in. It's because you downloaded with your gamertag. Only your gamertag can play that game on consoles that are not YOUR
    home xbox.

    Did that make sense?

    The only issue in doing this means you will only be able to play downloaded games on your xbox with an Internet connection.

    They both have wired internet connections. I shouldn't have any issues correct?

    Go to settings. I think it's on the left of the screen. (Sorry if I'm wrong im not at my xbox) It will say Make This my home Xbox. Or something like that. It's a place to send your downloaded games. But does mean anyone can play that game with their gamertags.
