    Why is Minecraft multiplayer option not available?


    On Minecraft my daughter (part of my family group) does not have multiplayer option despite me updating all the privacy settings. Can you help?

    She is playing it on a PC.

    Why is Minecraft multiplayer option not available?

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    Sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings and from there make sure that these settings are set to “allow” or “everyone”:

    * You can see and upload community creations

    * You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text

    * Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites

    * You can play with people outside of Xbox Live

    * You can create and join clubs

    * You can join multiplayer games

    Make sure to hit “submit” when you made any changes.

    Once done, restart the PC for the changes to take place.

    Minecraft multiplayer option

    Hi Ahmed, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    You can enable the multiplayer for Minecraft from the Xbox Family Settings app on your mobile device.

    To download the Family App: https://www.xbox.com/apps/family-settings-app

    Click on your Child Account Name > Settings (The cog on the top right) > Multiplayer > Allow

    Then, on the same window, under Cross-play:

    Allow Crossplay

    Allow Communication with Friends

    On the bottom of the page, Clubs > Allow (For Minecraft Realms).

    Minecraft Multiplayer not available

    Thanks. I have tried following the instructions on this page: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-online-safety/online-safety/manage-a-members-safety-settings-to-access-minecraft-features

    Assuming it is talking about the phone app Family Safety I have it installed on my iPhone and I am the Family Organizer. If I click my profile the only options I have are Share Location, Places, Loaction Alerts, Sign Out and Delete Account. Nothing else.

    And in my account through a browser of the PC I get a large confusing se of functions but non of which provide fixing this issue because there are simply no buttons anywhere to change these settings. I must be doing something wrong of course but I really do not see what.

    Hello, rpm1000. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    I would suggest you to change your kid's account privacy settings. You can set all settings related to multiplayer, parties and clubs to "Allow" or "Everyone". To change the Xbox privacy settings for your kid, please refer to:

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-onli...

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-onli...

    Feel free to ask back any questions and please let me know how it goes.

    You can also change his privacy settings through the console:

    Sign in to the console with the organizer’s Microsoft account that’s in the family group.
    Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
    Select Profile & system > Settings > Account > Family settings > Manage family members, and then select the member’s account that you’d like to manage.
    Select Privacy & online safety > Xbox privacy.
    Select the Child, Teen, or Adult default settings, or customize their settings by selecting View details & customize.

    If I'm not mistaken, you can also change it at:
    https://account.xbox.com/en-us/settings

    Keep in mind you have to sign in with your adult account.
