Minecraft Windows 10 Edition - (Unable to connect to world) Friend can't join me and I can't join friend

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.

    I can't believe this problem is still a thing. posting this on may 11th 1 day after I just bought my game but I still can't add any servers. Just join the recommended ones. This is not acceptable. I bought this game expecting to be able to play on servers with friends yet I can't even add a server. It angers me that this problem persists to this day and we have received no help.

    I have had other problems with Microsoft's games before such as when I spent 4 days and about 12 total hours trying to get sea of thieves to simply launch. This is a kid's game!!! Issues like this should be addressed swiftly. I paid about $17 for a game that I can't even play...

    Can get on to a mobile world with my win10 no problem, but not a single mobile can get onto my Win10 world. Other win10 have been able to connect, its purely a mobile problem on all devices. I really wish they at least addressed Minecraft Mobile's terrible multiplayer experience
