  1. Can't change my own Xbox Live account's privacy settings


    Hello!
    My name is Stas,and I've got some problem I want you to help me with.
    Not so long ago I bought Minecraft Bedrock edition (For Windows 10).

    I played it for a while,then i decided my friend to play with me.I logged into my Xbox Live account in Minecraft and tried to

    go to "friends" tab to add my friend.But instead of the button "Add Friend" I saw message "You can't add friends due to your Xbox Live account settings.Please visit aka.ms/accountsettings to change them." or something like that.After going there to change my privacy settings I saw this message: (Picture 1 shows it).

    I am the only person in family who has Microsoft Account and Xbox Live account,so I am the only who can control my privacy settings,but I clearly can't.I contacted Microsoft Support team about it,but they said they couldn't help me with my problem.Please,answer this post if you had this problem before,and you know how to solve this problem.I would be very glad if this problem will be solved.Thank you!

  3. cant open privacy settings

    Hi Sean,

    There are several possible explanations as to why you're encountering issues with accessing your Xbox account's privacy settings. Here's a list of the common factors:

    • There's an ongoing Xbox Live server outage.
    • You're using a child account which needs a parent permission in order to change the privacy settings.
    • Access to Xbox Live is not yet available to your location.

    For us to determine the root cause of this issue, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Are you using a child or a parent account?
    • Have you made any changes to your Xbox account before encountering this issue?
    • Have you tried using a different web browser to access your account's privacy settings?
    • Are you encountering the same issue when accessing your account's privacy settings on a different device like an Xbox console?

  4. Can't change my own Xbox Live account's privacy settings

    Xbox clubs don't work

    Hi,

    Synchronization failure of the account's settings to the Xbox Live server is a possible factor why you're encountering this issue. For us to determine the root cause, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Are you referring to joining clubs on the Xbox app or Xbox One?
    • Is this the first time you're trying to join clubs?
    • Do you have an access to the parent account?
    • Have you made any changes to the device and the Xbox account before encountering this issue?
    If you have an Xbox One console, we suggest that you visit this
    link
    and follow the steps on how to change the privacy settings for clubs. The steps on that page will synchronize the changes you've made across all devices as long as you're using the same Microsoft account.

    Refer to this
    link
    for more information regarding Xbox One online safety and privacy settings for parents and children.
