Can't connect to the Minecraft world of my friend on PS4

So basically, since it is now possible to crossplay with PS4 and all other Bedrock platforms, my friend on PS4 got really excited, and wanted to try it out with me (I am on Windows 10 Edition). So he did what he was suppost to, created a microsoft account, linked it, added me as a friend, I accepted. All that went really well.

After he created a world that had multiplayer on, I could see him in the "Friends" tab, 1/8 players on the server. I tried to click it and join. It was loading for a bit. It said "Connecting to Multiplayer" or something like that, and after a while, "Can't connect to world".

Any help?

    if you are able to access your router at home. Select the device you are needing to do multiplayer on (that isnt working) and open port 4555 (UDP). I thought doing the computers time setting fixed it (but it stopped working next time i played) but once i opened that port for my laptop, it works fine (except the xbox connectivity app setting (or whatever its called) says it isnt working anymore (despite the fact that it does and it works even better. Before i could only see cross-platform games (and trying to connect wouldnt work) but now it also shows LAN games and cross platform games (with friends) and they connect.

    Hopefully that helps some people but if you dont have access to your router settings you wouldnt be able to change that. 

    On a side note that router setting was in the firewall section of the router.

    If you are PC trying to connect to PS4, I used this: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/Hardware-Network/connect-network/server-connectivity-xbox-app-displays-blocked

    I also toggled my skin back to Steve, and just changed it back to my imported skin once I was in the game.
