Xbox privacy settings and Minecraft Realms

Mazark Storm · Sep 6, 2018

Hello.

A friend sent me an invitation to his realm but I cannot join. It tells me I have to change my privacy settings.

However, the "Join multiplayer games" option is already allowed. The only two options that are blocked are "Broadcast gameplay" and "You can create and join clubs". The problem is these two settings can't be changed: once I click on the submit button and
the page reloads, they just go back on block.

I don't know what to do.

Thank you for your attention.

Hello,
Salbatorix

Thank you for contacting Forum support!

Please make sure there is an active subscription applied for Realms, also make sure all your Privacy settings are set to "Allow/Everybody".

Here is a link that will show you the steps to get to

Xbox One online safety and privacy settings for parents and children. try to set the account settings to "Adult" then sign out of the account and sign back in.

Minecraft Realms (This link will give more information about realms and how to "Add friends" )

check out these two:

How to invite other players to your Realm

How to join other players in a Realm

Please let me know if that works!

Thank you!

To change the Minecraft Realm privacy for everyone, follow these steps:

Sign in to your Xbox account.
Open the Xbox app and select “Minecraft.”
Select “Settings” and then “Privacy and security.”
Select “Change online privacy and security settings.”
Select “Everyone” to allow anyone to join your Realm, or select “Friends” to allow only your friends to join.
Save the changes.

Hello, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

If it asks you for a game pass to join your friends in Minecraft, it may be because the kingdom owner has changed the kingdom's privacy settings. If the realm owner has set the privacy settings to “Friends Only,” only players who have an Xbox Game Pass membership will be able to join the realm.

If you're not sure if the kingdom owner has changed their privacy settings, you can ask them directly. If you don't have an Xbox Game Pass membership and want to join the realm, you'll need to purchase a membership or ask the realm owner to change your privacy settings.

I hope this helps.

Best regards.

Hi!

Check your Microsoft account privacy settings here: https://account.xbox.com/settings

This article provides the privacy settings required to enable Minecraft realms access:

I hope it helps

Have you tried doing a hard reset/power cycle on your console.

Press and hold the Xbox logo on the front of the console until it switches off, waiting atleast 30 seconds before switching it on again.

Are there any in-game settings that restrict joining realms?
