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?

    I have been having the same problem. For me, it doesn't even work when we both try to play on PS4. But there is something that works. But you both need a PS4 for that. You know the button "Editions" right? Click on that and you will get to an older version of Minecraft, before crossplay. Then your friend does the same and you can join each other's worlds.

    I hope it helped some people.

    Yes, this issue still persists. However, I am encountering the problem between PS4 and Xbox One. I am able to sign in with my Xbox account from the Minecraft PS4 menu, and I can see my friend's Xbox account in the list of players online, but I am still 'Unable to Join World'. It doesn't seem to matter if it's a new world or a saved world. It sux.
