  1. Xbox Home/Gold/APP Question


    A bit of a question between friends recently raised the question of what setting an xbox as home really does. To my understanding it is basically saying I own this console and all purchases should then be viable to use from other accounts on the console set as home from the main account. Although with that said if they took the “secondary accounts” and put them on another console it would not be able to access the previous “main” account’s games and purchases.

    With this said, I am now being told that if those accounts are on the “main” account’s xbox that is set as home, they are able to use the xbox app with gold privileges.

    • Is this true?

    •What is your experience?

    • Doesn’t xbox state that this shouldn’t be possible or previously wasn’t due to the “secondary” accounts are not given privileges on a console that isn’t a home console of an account with gold?



    If the Xbox App party feature can be used without gold, how long has it been this way?

    I also want to make a remark to clarify that I am aware of the new xbox live “policy” going into place that makes free to play games playable and xbox live parties joinable without xbox live gold; Everything above is referencing to previous xbox live history prior to this as it is going into place in the xbox insiders program.

    Thanks for reading or any responses.

    :)

    Doubt Home Gold

    Hello Dofusyosi,

    By "Home Gold" I assume you are refering to sharing Gold status to other accounts by setting an Xbox as the "Home Xbox" through Settings > Personalization > My Home Xbox.

    The gold sharing does only qualify on the Xbox that the account in question has set as it's home Xbox. Any other consoles would be unable to receive the shared Gold status, even if the profile was logged into another Console.

    I hope I was able to answer your question, if not, provide any other information you have and I'll see what I can do about your question farther.

    Thanks,

    Zilther

    Xbox home gold question

    All you need to do is set his account as the home xbox (primary account) you'll both get gold access then and be able to use the same content.

    Hope this helps :)

    Home Gold Question

    Ok, to optimize the use of your Gold and games on both consoles you should consider the following set up.

    1. Move the console that is in your Den to the Living Room and add the other gamertags to your Family from the Settings Menu.

    2. Take the console from the Living Room and put it in your Den for your use. Do not set this console as your Home console or the family members will lose access to Gold.

    This works best if you purchase games and content digitally on your account. This way if you purchase a game on the console in the Den it will automatically download to your Home console in the Living Room.

    If you choose to keep your Home console in the Den then you would need to purchase another Gold membership for the tag that is set as Home on the console in the Living Room.
