# XblMultiplayerSetSubscriptionsEnabled

Explicitly starts or stops the multiplayer service connectivity via RTA. Enabling the RTA subscription enables: 1. Callbacks when the local Users's sessions change, using the MultiplayerSession object. Handlers are added with [XblMultiplayerAddSessionChangedHandler](/reference/live/xsapi-c/multiplayer_c/functions/xblmultiplayeraddsessionchangedhandler). 2. Automatic removal of members from sessions when the RTA connection underlying this multiplayer subscription is broken.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
HRESULT XblMultiplayerSetSubscriptionsEnabled(  
         XblContextHandle xblContext,  
         bool subscriptionsEnabled  
)
