Minecraft Fixed Multiplayer Is Deactivated Please Check Your Microsoft Account Settings

Side note: I love that his laptop can sign in with a Microsoft Account. Microsoft has done a great job of family management. I can monitor his screen and provide many other useful features that parents need without having to use any third-party software.

The problem came when he went to play Minecraft multiplayer on one of his friend's servers. The multiplayer option was greyed and instead, the message in the above image was displayed "Multiplayer is disabled. "Cause": Please check your Microsoft Account Settings.

Microsoft blocks the "Join multiplayer gaming" permissions when creating a child Microsoft Account. This is a solution

- Browse to Family Safety portal https://account.microsoft.com/family and login with a family organisers (parents) account.- Towards the bottom click "Manage my family's Xbox online settings"

- On the left select "Privacy & online safety"- Select the account that can't play online games- Select "Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety"

- Click Submit at the bottom of the permissions list to set "Join multiplayer gaming" to Allow

Close and reopen Minecraft. You're done
