How do I allow multiplayer on my Microsoft account?
If you’re a fan of multiplayer gaming, you might be excited to share your favorite games with friends and family. However, before you can dive into the action, you need to ensure that multiplayer is enabled on your Microsoft account. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of allowing multiplayer on your Microsoft account, so you can start playing with others in no time.
Step 1: Sign in to your Microsoft account
The first step in enabling multiplayer on your Microsoft account is to sign in to your account. You can do this by visiting the Microsoft account website or by using the Xbox app on your computer. If you haven’t already set up your Microsoft account, you’ll need to create one before proceeding.
Step 2: Go to the privacy settings
Once you’re signed in to your Microsoft account, navigate to the privacy settings. You can find these settings by clicking on your profile picture or name in the upper-right corner of the website, and then selecting “Privacy settings” from the dropdown menu.
Step 3: Select “Game privacy settings”
Within the privacy settings, you’ll find a section called “Game privacy settings.” Click on this section to access the options related to multiplayer gaming.
Step 4: Choose your privacy options
In the game privacy settings, you’ll see several options that determine who can see your gaming activity and who can send you friend requests. To allow multiplayer, you’ll need to make sure that the following options are enabled:
– “Find me on Xbox Live”: This option allows others to find you on Xbox Live and invite you to multiplayer games.
– “Receive game invites from anyone”: This option ensures that you receive game invites from anyone, not just your friends.
– “Send game invites to anyone”: This option allows you to invite anyone to join your multiplayer games.
Step 5: Save your changes
After enabling the desired privacy options, click “Save” to apply the changes. Your Microsoft account is now set up to support multiplayer gaming.
Step 6: Update your friends list
Before you start inviting friends to join your multiplayer games, make sure your friends list is up to date. You can add friends by searching for their gamertags or by sending them friend requests through the Xbox app or Microsoft account website.
Step 7: Join multiplayer games
With your Microsoft account set up for multiplayer, you can now join games with friends and family. Simply invite them to join your game, or search for them in the game’s multiplayer lobby to start playing together.
By following these steps, you should now have successfully allowed multiplayer on your Microsoft account. Happy gaming!
