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)
please help it doesnt work this need fixing
This is really annoying. I am having the same problem.
The stupid xbox family setting app doesn't even work. Tried logging in and times out. This is absolutely ridiculous. Microsoft needs to get their **** together.

At first I did not get that I have to manage all those settings in minecraft. I was looking for Xbox settings management. Idea to create Family group first and then to log in as parent to minecraft and allow my kid to play miltiplayer - that helped. Thanks, KR.
