    Why is GamePass not sharing through my home xbox

    Hi,

    2 things you have to know about family sharing:

    1. Your account has to be set to home console on his console ONLY. If you set your console to home sharing will not work.

    2.On his console ONLY your account has to be set to home console. If his account is set to home as well it will not work either.

    Install games on second device

    You can't share the subscription on multiple PC's that's why. You can only share it with others on your PC or through the Xbox console as well (If it's regular Gamepass)

    Game pass subscription

    Hello

    Just of out of curiosity, when you signed him up for Gamepass did you do it through his account or yours? If it was through yours you will have to designated the Xbox as your Home Xbox for the subscription to share.

    The instructions for that are here
