Any symbol is related to the broker (the brokers can add the symbol).
If you want to know what the broker is proposing to the traders so right mouse click on Market Watch - Symbols.

XAUUSD

Symbols (XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPJPY, BTC/USD and so on) are not related to Metatrader5 software/ Those symbols are related to the broker you are connected this software to.
So, select the other broker with XAUUSD.
