Whenever we try to connect to each other's worlds through the Xbox app it says "Unable to connect to world". We can play together on a realms server, and can join other servers, just not each other.
I've changed my NAT type to open, and port forwarded all the required ports for the Xbox app. Still nothing.
I've tried using a VPN to several different countries but still has the same results.
We are both using Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition.
We have both uninstalled and reinstalled Minecraft, no luck.

The only thing i got that works 1/10 times is signing out my Microsoft account, restarting my PC and then signing back in. it sometimes come up with the Xbox one world, but not all the time. this seriously needs to get fix, Minecraft windows 10 edition is cross play with Xbox one, and not being able to have that feature is a waste of my £27 for the game, especially considering that Java edition is £16 and has more frequent updates and features.
Did you wait a week to play the server as a whole (as in stop playing it) or continue to play it but just wait out the week where people cant join?
Yeah mate happened to me too unless you want to completely change computer settings and software s hi* best bet is to wait a week or so It just went away for me I just waited 1-2 weeks
None of these steps helped me. We are both using pc. Done all steps on both device.
Well said. Do something Microsoft
