Windows 10: Share Minecraft with Family

Hi. Both my kids want Minecraft. They are both in my Microsoft family. I have read that if I buy it through the Microsoft Store my children can also use it. I tried that, but I was forced to go to the XBox app. So I purchased there, thinking it would still work for my children. But when I try on the childrens PCs, it want me to buy it again. If one purchase can be used across the whole family, let me know.

I follow steps in this website

and there's no minecraft in my family account's store

I've seen a more or less similar post but of 2016, so I was hoping things might be different now.

Is it possible to buy minecraft once and share it with your kids on the family account and can they play it simultaneously?

I find this whole family account and content sharing on the microsoft store very confusing. It is very obvious in the Google play store how that works and there I bough minecraft once and can share it with my kids who can play it simultaneously.

Hi Greg

Thank you very much. I followed the steps and it is working perfectly. The kids are now playing minecraft using the family accounts.
