Help: Can't chat in game after migrating account.

Discussion in 'Community Discussion' started by KaliaLlama, Dec 27, 2021.

  1. I recently migrated both my main account (KaliaLlama) and alt (KaliaCria) from Mojang to Microsoft. I have had no issues with my main account, but when I try to use commands (open the chat bar) in-game with my alt I get the following:


    Chat not allowed by account settings. Cannot send message.

    I cannot for the life of me figure out which settings are different between the two, either in-game or on the Microsoft account page, that is keeping me from using chat/commands with the alt.
    Anyone have any insight or solution? :confused:

  2. go to account.xbox.com/settings and sign into your alts account, then make sure this is set to allow

    if this fails, other people say they fixed it by just switching versions

  3. Update: I got it working!
    I had already changed all my xbox account settings to allow but for some reason they weren't transferring over. I finally got it to work by open the launcher, logging into my account, changing the settings & saving them, then manually logging out of the account and closing the launcher. I then reopened the launcher, logged into my account again to verify the settings were still at "allow" - and then when I opened the game the chat/commands were working.
    I think the trick was actively logging out and back in before going back into the game. So much nonsense, lol.

    I'm sorry that it was such a bother.
