Cannot connect to friends game on Minecraft

Hello!

Thanks for reaching out to us here on the forums with this situation. I understand you're having trouble getting connected to the servers of your Minecraft friends game. On the Xbox One they are on do they run the Xbox One Edition or Minecraft: Better Together
edition? It would have to be the most recent version of Minecraft on bother devices (Bedrock is the correct edition to be using on PC).

Let us know a few more details to determine the best way to further assist you.

Hello Omega here,

So... it appears you're having problems connecting to your friends worlds in Minecraft for Windows 10.

I would have them check their in-game settings in Minecraft under the main menu there, and make sure that Online play is enabled. Sometimes this is switched to being disabled and therefore they cannot join any online games and friends cannot join their game
either. Both you and your friends should check in Minecraft settings and make sure that Online play is enabled and friends are allowed to join. Then you can select which permissions you would like to enable for your friends when they join your world after
that.

I saw you mentioned others have visited the realm. Make sure your friend is online when you try and visit. The others may have been couch co-op. Also check your internet connection and make sure it is a stable connection.

My friend is telling me she cannot connect in the mornings, but something about the online only game works better in the evenings. Which, I feel is the opposite. I used to have Minecraft issues only in the evenings when everyone + their dog were online.
So, it's odd.
