Allow Custom Skins on Console Bedrock Edition

It's really frustrating that custom skins aren't supported on the console versions of Minecraft Bedrock Edition. This feels like a basic feature that should already exist, especially since it's available on the Windows 10 (PC) version and Java.

A simple solution would be to allow skins uploaded to your Minecraft account on the Windows 10 edition to sync with your console account. A more universal approach would be to implement a skin upload option directly on minecraft.net, accessible to all Bedrock players, regardless of platform.

Right now, it's frustrating to know that my friends on console can't use the same custom skins that make Minecraft more personal and expressive. Adding this feature would improve parity across platforms and let every player enjoy a fuller experience.

    they should add this even if you do have to pay for custom skin slots as every minecraft version (except for legacy console) has custom skins

    I agree why does Java able to get user personalised custom skins while we’re stuck with pre-fabs select screens and copy past iPad kid skin packs

    id really love for them to make this possible. i imported 4 custom skins through my laptop's bedrock edition only to find they dont transfer across to console. and my laptop isnt powerful enough to run minecraft without a bit of lag which is frustrating. so this would be really ideal

    Then you can make a skin that you like that could work with actions and stuff facial expressions that only work on mobile because of importing skins to make it balanced it could have a filter on skins that are imported (just a suggestion)

    I'm a console creator and have a custom skin for my channel and not being able to use it annoys me as I like consistency through my channel

    It sucks how limited Bedrock/console versions compared to Java. No extra commands crap, can’t put whatever you want in the offhand, no skin customization outside of the skin editor, and no custom add-ons and mods!

    I know, I have my own skin and cape from when I was on Java but now that I am on console it annoys me not to be able to use them.

    Frustrating that creativity is being banned to promote sales from the marketplace or "user safety". There are obvious measures that can be taken using minimal resources to add guidelines or a skin approving process to protect users, rather a parallel of a workplace or place of study bans water bottles because one individual of many has bottled unapproved liquids... Safety concerns here are sophistic and such primitive restrictions subvert the player's expression. Creating a custom skin pixel by pixel and using it on whichever device they need is rudimentary and I must say emotionally, is such a basic endeavor that to omit is to insult any intended audience and strip of an experience that is creatively, communally, and expressively satisfying.
