UPDATE: Disregard. It took a little while but I found out that for games I needed to download a second app...Xbox Family Settings. I can now adjust communication and multiplayer/online settings.
I set up a re-purposed laptop for my kids to use for school and games. I set up my sons' accounts as child accounts for content management. I have the Microsoft Family app installed and it is working. My oldest son loves Minecraft and he wanted to shift from exclusively playing on Nintendo Switch to using the laptop. I downloaded the Java and Bedrock Ultimate Collection and, after going through the expected parental approval and purchase process, was successful getting it installed on his Microsoft account. It loads properly and he can effectively use it in single player mode. Question and help needed:
In the future, we will want to allow multiplayer...online or with his younger brother. The option is grayed out and when I hover the mouse on it it says it is linked to a Microsoft account setting. I have looked everywhere in Microsoft Family and his account and see nothing that allows me to enable/disable gaming options (multiplayer, online access, etc.). How/where are these settings? Much appreciated.
