Hi,

You will receive an error about privacy settings when joining Xbox Live Parties if your account settings are not set up correctly or you are using a child account. If you are using a child account, you will need a parent account's permission to change the
privacy and online safety settings so you can join Xbox Live Parties and multiplayer games.

To better assist you with your concern, please provide the following information:

• Are you using a child account? To check, you can log in to this
  link with your Microsoft Account.
• Are you able to play multiplayer games online using the same account?

You can also contact Xbox Chat Support on this
link to securely verify your account and check if there is a parent account attached to it.

I am not using a child account and cannot join multiplayer online games.

The Windows 10 Xbox App allowa PC users to join Xbox parties with no problem. I have a friend that I play Gears 4 with and he joins the party chat from the app.

If you wanna have Discord, you can always contact them on their support page to give the feedback

I too am not able to join or start a party on my Windows 10 Xbox App. Every time I click to join or start a party, the Xbox App crashes and goes back to my desktop home screen.
