    Saying "Sign in with the profile used for purchase, or buy a copy at the xbox store", I'm signed in and had no problem playing any games last night but now none of them are working, not even youtube.

    Game Sharing Issue

    I am sharing my games with one of my friend. He has set my account as "My home Xbox" in his console and I have set his account as "My Home xbox" in my console.

    Everything was working fine, we were able to play each other's Digital games, untill few days back, when I was no longer able to access my friend's digital games.

    I am getting an error like "Sign in with the profile used to purchase, or buy a copy at xbox store"

    PS:- My friend is able to access my games but I am unable to.

    How to share game pass between 3 Xbox consoles in the same house

    You can only share on 1 console at a time. So the person who buys the games/subscriptions would need to set 1 of the console as their Home. The other profiles would use that console and the person who purchased everything can still sign in and use the non-Home console. For a 3rd console, you'd either have to purchase everything at least 1 more time or sign in with the purchasing account.

    Family share?

    There is no way you can buy it once and share with 7 consoles. You wouldn't quite have to buy it 7 times, but you would have to purchase multiple copies. You have only share games/gold on the Home console and you can only have 1 console set as your Home
    at a time. So you would have to buy it on one account, set a console as It's Home, then that account can sign in and use another console, then you'd have to repeat with the next set of consoles and so on. For 7, you'd need at least 4 copies.

    Hiya Deb,

    Thank you for contacting Forum support!

    Before placing any items on an account, always make sure the correct profile is signed in. Unfortunately, using currency is not something that can be used to buy Gifts. (Not everything can be gifted)

    Although, I recommend to set your profile as the "Home Console". This will allow the profile to share the games you purchase with other profiles on the
    same console.

    Hope this helps.

    One day able to play digital; next day asking me for a disc

    Thanks for letting us know, HydroWither!

    To clarify, Driver San Francisco wasn't made free, but if your account already owned it, or if you were signed into the

    Home console
    for an account that already owned it, it would appear in the Ready to Install list under My Games & Apps on that console.

    Did you previously purchase this game with your account? If not, then it's likely that you were playing a copy that belonged to another profile. If that profile signed out or if the Home console for that profile changed, then you would no longer have access
    to the game via their profile.

    X-box one multiplayer with gold? What?!

    gold is required long time ago, so now quit it sounds impossible but you can share your account key with your brother in order to don't buy 2 copies of halo 5 and double gold membership. Both of you can share gold and digital games without sign the other
