To share your Xbox Live Gold subscription, sign in to your account on the Xbox website and go to the “My account” page. Then, select “Subscriptions” and scroll down to the “Xbox Live Gold” section. Under “Manage,” select “Add or remove family members.”

How to cancel Xbox Live Gold sharing
Users who share their Xbox Live Gold account with others often do so because it allows them to save money on their subscription. While this practice is perfectly legal, Microsoft does not condone it and has taken steps to make it more difficult to share accounts. As a result, cancelling Xbox Live Gold sharing is now a fairly simple process.
If you wish to cancel your Xbox Live Gold sharing, you will need to do the following:
1. Log into your Xbox Live account on your console.
2. Go to the “My Account” section.
3. Select “Manage Account”.
4. Select “Subscriptions”.
5. Select “Xbox Live Gold”.
6. Select “Cancel Subscription”.
7. Confirm that you want to cancel your subscription.
Once you have cancelled your subscription, any other user who was sharing your account will no longer be able to access Xbox Live Gold features.
