Hello Zita Vranken,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum. I understand that you cannot access multiplayer in Minecraft. To help me learn more, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide more details about your issue. Is your multiplayer button grayed out, or did you receive an error message? Does the message relate to Xbox privacy settings or something else?

If your issue is related to Xbox privacy settings, please make sure that:

• You downloaded the game from the official Xbox or Mojang website or through the Microsoft Store.
• You have verified that the game shows as Owned in your purchase history.
• You are signed in with the exact same account used to purchase Minecraft.
• You are not in a family group, or if you are, that your account is listed as an adult or you are over 18 years old.
• You have enabled all privacy settings related to multiplayer.

If you have already gone through this checklist, revisit the Xbox privacy and safety settings and confirm them. Don’t forget to click Save after making changes. Sign out on all devices and sign back in to check if it works.

The initial response might not address the problem. So, if your problem persists or you need any assistance, feel free to ask me by clicking "Add Comment" or "Post Answer" if you cannot add comment. This helps me can read your follow up. Thanks for your effort.
