Will an account work on two different Xboxes?

Big 3y3 · Dec 5, 2014

So I have an Xbox One at home and all the games I own are digital downloads. I work at a school and we recently purchased an Xbox One so we can reward kids with a little gaming time every now and again. I was placed in charge of it, because I'm basically
the only staff member that has an Xbox One and is up to date on how to use it, games, etc.

The question I have is if I link my Xbox Live account to this second Xbox will I be able to download all my games that are tied to my account on this Xbox?

Second question is would this affect my personal Xbox in any way? I would imagine I couldn't be signed into both Xboxes at the same time and that's fine but I just want to make sure I'm not potentially messing something up with my personal Xbox by adding
my profile to the one the school purchased.

Two different accounts - Help!

Thanks maxen. I for some reason didn't see how to sign in with another account in the Windows Store before I posted this. I have done that and it worked!

Thanks!

Also, it's pretty lame not being able to merge accounts.

There is no way to merge accounts.

What you can do is sign into the Windows Store with your Xbox account and that might work, but it's better to use the Xbox account to also sign into Windows and you can play your games on that profile.

You can use your account on any console you want without any problems. So it wouldn't be an issue having your account on both consoles.

Content is tied to your account, so you can redownload it on the second console.

Hi Keegan, 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.

There is a fix for this.

What you should do is ask the account owner that has an Xbox Live Gold subscription if he/she can set his/her account as home Xbox on the console that you're using in your room, in that way you can use the account owner's subscription through game sharing. Now with the old Xbox which is in the family room, what will happen is that the account that has an Xbox Live Gold will be the only account that can have the Xbox Live Gold subscription because his/her subscription is now being shared on your new Xbox console.

If there are multiple people that are using the Xbox in the family room, I would highly recommend leaving it as it is and you may need to consider purchasing an Xbox Live Gold subscription on your account.

By the way, with Home Xbox sharing, you can check this link: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

Hello Brendon, try to log in again with your account, sometimes the code you see after the # is a code for the system, locate it easier, sometimes it appears and sometimes it does not, but while you can enter your account it does not mean that have two,
son the same. Greetings and stay safe.

Hi BrendonStreeter, did u correctly sign in with your real account ? Have u try to disconnect and sign in again ? You said :

"the tag # at the end of the name is different to my xbox name tag"

You mean a "different" tag or just a tag. On some screens, i believe the tag don't exist on Xbox, just on app or on PC but i'm not sure.

Have a nice day and stay safe.

I have two xbox consoles with two different accounts. One account is now working but the other is still not connecting to the game servers. Apps can be used but can't connect to game servers.
