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

I have the same issue but i play on xbox one i was wondering gow to resolve this issue

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.

Same help!!!! Me!!!!

Yeah my friend and we didnt want people to join while he was away and changed it to invite only and i cant join even if he switched back to friends of friends i still couldnt join and he is pretty pissed at me for making him change the settings

I have a similar problem when my friends try to join me it always says locating server and doesn't change alsi i can see them in my world but it never says the joined the game

Hello, I am having a similar issue. Only I’m playing minecraft Xbox One bedrock edition, and my friend is playing minecraft windows ten edition. Whenever we try joining each other it says “Unable to connect to world”. I’ve made sure we’re both on the same version, and made sure my privacy settings are set to enable cross-play. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
