I was wanting to play with a buddy of mine, but I can't get in the game whilst he can, I checked online and saw others having similar issues, but I can't join my buddy's party neither on my xbox nor pc.... is there something wrong Xbox? Where's your statement
on this subject???

I found out the issue, it's an ISP issue on my end.... haaa it's just one issue after another with them, sorry about this mates

Can someone resolve this post? I don't know how to do that

So I have two XBL accounts for the PC. One is GBBlackKnight and the other is . GBBlackKnight will not show online, no matter what I do. As a result, I cannot join a hosted game (Minecraft) from my other account/PC. This account is also connected to my Nintendo Switch. I can't connect to it from at all. I can connect from GBBlackKnight to 's hosted games no problem. The weird thing is, I have no issues connecting from a third XBL account to GBBlackKnight. I can even do a party chat from both BlackKnight accounts. I just can't see the online status and connect to hosted games. What gives? It's always been fine until this past week or so.

Replying from my other PC with a screenshot. Currently in party chat, but as you can see, the other BlackKnight on PC #1 is offline. On PC #1, I have selected 'go online' and it still shows on PC #2 as offline. I can go online on this PC (#2) and it shows up on PC #1 with no issues.

Playing BF4? I've only had issues when hosting chat with other than an open NAT, connecting to someone else who has other than an open NAT (this includes randomly having chat turn off), or trying to join/start voice chat after launching BF4 (or after the
party I'm joining has launched this game).

I will also add that I can play multiplayer it has never been an issue with that. Also when I connect to another friend he can connect to him also. We can then chat there, but we cannot connect to each other, nor join each others games if he or I are hosting
them.

I am playing gears 5 on the PC. I can't seem to get my microphone to work in game. It's the same mic I use when I play other PC games such as League of Legends or Dota So I know it works.

An error message came up when I joined a party that said my network settings were blocking voice chat. I did a connectivity check using the xbox game bar and everything came up as good, with an open NAT setting.

I have voice activation turned on, and push to talk turned off in the settings.

I can't figure out what the issue is, any ideas?

I had this issue and found that disabling the Xbox game bar fixed and now I am able to use voice chat on Gears 5.
