Can't invite friends to play Minecraft

CoolGuy0228 · Jan 10, 2015

My son and his friend are connected on XBox Live. His friend can invite him to play in his Minecraft world but my son can't invite his friend to play in his Minecraft world. The option for game invite is grayed out. I've checked all privacy/content settings
and all are set to Friends. Anyone know how we can enable my son to be able to invite his friend to play?

:)

Wondered if you ever got an answer on this? We're having the same exact problem. Pursing the forums it seems we're not the only ones.

I guess the first thing to do is check that the game is set to an online game, being connected to the internet isn't enough.

Again the privacy settings need to be checked, minecraft allows you to post pics to facebook so they have to be able to media share, not sure exactly what option that is under. If you look through and are not sure then the best bet is to have no privacy
settings to see if you can connect at all and then when you know you can, you can start adding privacy settings and check as you go.

Hello,

Im ,

Please Follow These Steps :

To invite your Xbox friends to join you in a Minecraft game, select the Play button on the main menu in Minecraft, select Members, and then select the Invite button next to your friend’s name. To invite Xbox friends to play in Microsoft Realms, see Minecraft Realms and Realms Plus page.

If you need to add someone as an Xbox friend so you can invite them to play, see How to add new Xbox friends.

The invites aren’t on my switch but on the Minecraft app and my friends play on PlayStation.

Just to cover all bases: You and your friend both have the same Minecraft version (e.g. you are both playing on the Xbox One, and you both are playing "Minecraft" and not "Minecraft Xbox One Edition")?

Is it possible that you or your friend have joined the Insider Preview Betas for Minecraft?

Do you get invites for other things (Party invites, invitations for other games)? Is it possible that you turned off notifications? Open the settings on your console and under Preferences and Notifications make sure that the appropriate notifications are
turned on.

How is your friend trying to invite you? For example, are you already in a party, and she chooses to use the party menu to "invite party to game" or something like that?
