Windows 10: How can I allow to play multiplayer

I cannot play multiplayer in Minecraft PE

:)

 

Can't play Minecraft multiplayer???

When trying to play online on Minecraft, the button is greyed out and says "You can not play multiplayer because of how your account is set up." I went through the privacy settings and it is set to allow multiplayer and cross platform. ALL of the settings are set to allow but I STILL can't play! The account's age is set to over 18. Someone please help!!!

 

How do I enable multiplayer

Dear Temiloluwa Akinyemi

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.

I would like to know what platform or game you are trying to add multiplayer to.

Below you will find the usual settings for adding multiplayer to XBOX or Minecraft.

To enable multiplayer in an Xbox game, follow these steps:

Make sure you have an Xbox Live Gold subscription. Most multiplayer games on Xbox require an Xbox Live Gold subscription to play online with others.

Start the game you want to play multiplayer in.

Look for an option in the game's main menu or settings that allows you to select multiplayer mode or join an online game.

If prompted, sign in to your Xbox Live account.

Follow the on-screen instructions to join a multiplayer game or create a party with friends.

Once you are in a multiplayer game, you can invite friends to join you or join a game with random players.

Enjoy playing with others online in multiplayer mode.

=======================================

To enable multiplayer in Minecraft, follow these steps:

Launch Minecraft on your Xbox console.

Make sure you are signed in to your Xbox Live account.

From the main menu, select "Play" and then choose the world you want to play in.

Once in the world, press the Start button on your controller to open the in-game menu.

Select "Invite to Game" to invite friends to join your world or select "Friends" to see a list of your friends who are currently online and invite them to join.

You can also choose to join a friend's world by selecting "Join Friends" from the main menu.

If you want to join a public multiplayer server, select "Servers" from the main menu and browse the list of available servers to join.

Enjoy playing Minecraft with friends in multiplayer mode!

Best wishes

Finding the right support options, for problems with the Xbox Console and Accessories

A final note, PlayStation users have to pay for online play also It is only PlayStation 3 users that don't . But ask yourself this: If Microsoft offer free play for online multiplayer, how would you fund the servers needed for Xbox Live?

• Higher Game Prices?
• Higher rental Prices?
• Less servers and availability?
• Less servers and sustainability?

Good luck with your suggestion,

Regards,
