    "You can not play because of how your Microsoft Account is set up"


    Ok so just got the Series X and downloaded Minecraft onto it. I am trying to join a realm but it keeps on saying the same error message "You can not play..." I have a parent account and everything is on allow/everybody but it keeps saying the same thing.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    :)

    You cannot play on Realms because of how your Microsoft Account is set up

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    Just a friendly reminder though that to play the Minecraft game online multiplayer on the Xbox console, an Xbox Live Gold subscription is required.

    You may need to buy an Xbox Live Gold subscription under your wife's account. Once done, perform a powercycle on the console in that way the console will detect it.

    “You cannot play on Realms because of how your Microsoft Account is set up.”

    I'm having the exact same issue as OP. I have done everything above mentioned. All my settings are correct. Powercycled, uninstalled and reinstalled, factory reset my xbox as you suggested as well and it still tells me this.

    My only difference to OP is I have Xbox Game Pass for Console.
