Xbox live Gold sharing, can play online but cannot play Games with Gold games

Hello, You are correct, your kids can play online games, but they can not redeem the games with gold, since their account does not have gold.

Your kids will also be able to play any of your digital games on your home Xbox.

Here is the Xbox Live Gold sharing features page.

Hopefully I was of some help.

Not according to this..

At home with Xbox One

As an Xbox Live Gold member, you can share the benefits of Xbox Live Gold with others while they’re using your Xbox One console in your home. Friends and family can simply create their own account and gamertag on the console, which gives them the ability
to enjoy Xbox Live online multiplayer gaming.

Friends or family members with their own gamertags coming over to play? No problem. They can log in and play online multiplayer games, even if you sign off"

and yet it will not allow him to play online.

When I say online multiplayer I can play with other people online In games such as fortnite. But I can also play the gold games that are included as well even tho I'm sharing someone's gold live.

If your friend plays on xbox he has to have xbox live gold to play it. For gold it could be an active subscription of your friend or a shared gold from the family. Without gold He wouldn't be able to play any game online.

as your live sub has lapsed then all the gold games on your account will no longer be available until you resubscribe.

gold shared to you from another account will not unlock your games with gold titles.
