To take advantage of the Xbox One's gamesharing features,
you will need to log in to
the main Xbox Live account
and the secondary Xbox Live account
that you want to share with.
This needs to be done on two different Xboxes,
and you need to set up the "My home Xbox" settings
for both users on both Xboxes.
We will call the person that owns the games
they are willing to share "Player 1"
and the person who wants to receive the games "Player 2."
First, Player 1 will have to
add Player 2's account to their Xbox.
To do this, click the Xbox guide button on the controller,
then go to the far right "Profile & system" menu.
Click "Add or switch."
Then click "Add new."
Then have Player 2 log in to their Xbox Live account.
Now that the second account is logged in,
you need to change its profile settings,
so the Xbox Player 1 is currently on
becomes Player 2's home Xbox.
This is how Player 2 will access
Player 1's game library.
Click the Xbox guide button on your controller,
then go to the far right "Profile & system" menu.
Click "Settings."
On the left, click "General,"
and on the right. click "Personalization."
Then, at the bottom, click "My home Xbox."
Here, you will have the option
to make Player 1's Xbox
Player 2's home Xbox.
To do so, click "Make this my home Xbox."
Repeat the steps shown before for both Xboxes
for both users.
You're now sharing your Xbox gold membership and games
with a friend or family member.
Now Player 2 just needs to sign in and play.
