    xbox home sharing not letting other account play online

    Hi, Daniel! Thank you for your reply and the additional information.

    • Could you double-check that your console is indeed designated as your brother's Home Xbox? To do so:

    - Have him sign in to his account on your console.
    - While on his account, go to Settings > General > Personalization > My Home Xbox.
    - The box for "Make this my Home Xbox" should be checked.

    • If the box for "Make this my Home Xbox" is checked for his account, please try power-cycling your console, like this:

    - Press and hold your console's power button until it shuts down.
    - Unplug the console's power cord for 5 minutes. If you have the original Xbox One, you'll have to unplug the power supply unit from both the console and the outlet.
    - Turn your modem/router off and unplug them for 5 minutes.
    - Plug everything back together and check if the issues persist.

    Thank you! I'll be looking forward to your reply.
    Best regards.

    Hi, Daniel! Thank you for reaching out.
    I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.
    I'm sorry you are experiencing issues playing online.

    If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a few questions:

    - To clarify, is this happening with games you installed from the Game Pass catalog?

    - May I ask what happens when you try to play games online? are you being prompted to choose a subscription plan?

    - Could you ask your brother to double-check that the account he used to designate your console as Home Xbox has an active subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate? he should be able to see this by signing in to his Microsoft Account at: https://account.microsoft.com/services

    Thank you! I'll be looking forward to your reply.
    Best regards.
