    Xbox Home share

    Check with your friend to see if he changed his Home. You can only have one Home console at a time so if he tried sharing with someone else, or setting his own console as his Home (as he should) then it would have removed it from yours. If he has already
    reached his limit, he'll have to wait a year before he can change it again.

    FYI, you should never share account information with anyone. It's a violation of the code of conduct.

    Sharing home xbox

    Hi there,

    keep in mind that the Home console setting is meant to be used on your own primary console.

    Using it to be able other people their games can be an issue, see this link for some information:

    https://enforcement.xbox.com/en-us/home/staysafe#topic4


    Regarding the issue, this can be caused by a service or internet issue, so be sure to check if all is up and running without issues.

    Also be sure to try the manual power cycle steps like mentioned on the following link, be sure to wait at least 60 seconds before powering on again:

    Xbox home sharing

    Hey Tommy,

    To make it easier to decipher, let's label the two boxes A and B.

    1. Xbox A
    2. Xbox B

    If your wife sets Xbox A as her home console and plays on Xbox B, anyone who uses
    Xbox A will be able to use her game library and live membership. However, if she plays on Xbox A, anyone else who uses Xbox B
    will not have access to her game library and membership since Xbox B is not her home console.

    This is why you're receiving advice to check which console is set as her "home" unit. The sharing feature is a little limited but it's nice that it's provided nonetheless. As Determined Hero pointed out, your wife will want to set the console she
    doesn't intend to play on as her home so that you can access the game library/membership.

    Double check her Home setting. It sounds as if she has the second console set as her Home, not the first.

    Home Xbox not sharing.

    Sounds like his Gold Subscription may have expired. Either that or he is sharing with someone else.

    XBOX HOME SHARING?????

    Didn't really get what you were saying before but sounds like you're trying to give your friend a free copy of a game you're still playing which I wouldn't admit to on these forums
