we bought the Minecraft Java Edition to use it in multiplayer mode, but this option is disabled. Error message is 'Multiplayer is disabled. Please check your Microsoft account settings'. Unfortunately we can't find anything that could be changed. Any ideas? Thx!

ok I've found this its like start here:
https://account.microsoft.com/family/
then pick More Options > Xbox settings - this will take you to the xbox account, that is linked to the MS one and there go to Privacy & online settings, then pick a child login and the second tab is Xbox1 / Win10 online security page where you can allow the kid to play multiplayer games (second option from the bottom)
This was WAY harder than it needed to be. Even if playing online, you have to go to XBox settings to find the privacy and permissions. I don't have an XBox so I didn't even think to look there. The microsoft account doesn't have this. What a nightmare to figure this out ... wasted my evening.
This link will take you directly to that page:
Where are more options?
Thank you Thank you Ive been trying to find the solution for soooooooo long
