Okay, after reading different explanations from different people I came to one conclusion on how this works, if we are to trust what the support team said.

 

  1. Gamer buys an XBox One.
  2. Gamer adds (10) people to his/her Family Group. This is called "Family Group" because it is looked at as how gaming functions within (1) household.
  3. These (10) people gain access to Gamer's entire library. However, they can't just play whatever they want, whenever they want. 
  4. When Gamer is playing a title (1) member of Gamer's Family Group can join in and play along with them. This is where the (1) at a time limit comes into play.
  5. If Gamer is playing no games the members of his/her Family Group are unable to play any of Gamer's games.
Out of the (2) scenarios I posted I believe this one to be the most realistic.

1.Ok gamer buys an Xbox One

2. OK Gamer adds (10) people to his/her Family Group. This is called "Family Group" because it is looked at as how gaming functions within (1) household.

3. ok These (10) people gain access to Gamer's entire library. However, they can't just play whatever they want, whenever they want.

4.Ok When Gamer is playing a title (1) member of Gamer's Family Group can join in and play along with them.This is where the (1) at a time limit comes into play.

5.WRONG MS olready confirmed that you don't have to be logged on to your gamer tag so that your family can access your games
