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.

2019-07-02T13:33:25+00:00 Just ran into the same problem trying to play minecraft with my daughter on the same (wired) network as me. I noticed when she first logged into her world it briefly showed up as a LAN game before appearing under "joinable friends". Every time I tried to connect to her world under "joinable friends" I would get the "unable to connect to world" response - consistently. Thanks Microsoft.
So I got her to restart minecraft and her fire up her world again. By clicking on the "LAN game" link the moment it appeared, I was able to join her world without any issues. If anyone else has the same problem - try this approach. I suspect that removing the person as a friend might also work, as that would result in the other person's world remaining as a LAN game.

2019-06-25T23:26:50+00:00 I'm having a similar issue where people cannot join my servers but I can join other peoples servers. I do not have an access to a router and the solution is way to complex for me to even begin understanding it. I'm using the Minecraft Windows 10 Edition. If there is a more simpler solution please tell me.
