Can't "Open group chat" in xbox game bar while accepted to groups (option is grayed out and...

Hmm. That’s strange. The text chat only and voice required are both options on the Xbox as well.

So does this mean that on Xbox there is gather party only?

Because if that were true then opening a group chat from the pc then would let this feature be accessible on Xbox and it has nothing to do with if u select voice required or text chat only at all.

It’s just a simple click. Accept atleast one person to the post as confirmed and open group chat on the Xbox game bar. And then u can head over to Xbox add more people as confirmed and directly see even the lfg post from there as well (the chat from open group chat), which is all meant for Xbox.

And it will also add all people to the group chat regardless of their privacy settings meaning they won’t be “invited to group chat” but directly added, since they joined the post with “I’m interested”

All this leads to further clarity that this is merely oversight or wantedly the team doing these features have been lazy in the dev department by not making the simple open group chat clickable on Xbox. Perhaps something to do with the new Xbox game Bar and Xbox pc app.

But the point is, that after that single click on the pc Xbox game bar “open group chat” everything works fine on Xbox from there onwards for that post… until it expires.

Glad to know it’s not actually there on Xbox, and we have to turn on pc simply to do a one click painstaking option which should be on the xbox itself… maybe the xbox mobile app too.

Wish they had it in the old mobile app version which still works today for doing lfg posts and such. A PC is just so cumbersome.

As for gather party it invites everyone to party and then if u leave the party it withdraws anyone who joins and leaves and sometimes even closes the lfg post.

P.S. Seems like a lot to be fixed in the networking department but nothing will be for atleast another half decade from now. Yet they make us pay for Xbox live gold. SMH poor service preferring PC for a simple option click.

Do you say in multiplayer games? Most in the game party lobby is open, if you are playing in a group your squad is open in audio, see in the game if you have the option to change group audio, or create a group of your own, only those in your group party
chat you can hear, good luck!

Check to see if the group member who can't hear has Noise Suppression enabled in their settings. To activate or deactivate this option:

Aspects that you should take into account

This feature is enabled by default to help remove unwanted background noise from group audio, such as music, nearby fans, traffic, etc. If you are trying to share these other sounds with the group, you must disable Noise Blanking to unblock any external sounds.
Noise suppression is enabled only on Xbox Series X|S consoles.

You may be experiencing network latency issues or other network issues. To do this, check your network's detailed statistics by following the steps described in:

If the active game or application is silent or very quiet when using Kinect in a group chat or Skype call, the chat mixer may be set to hear only the conversation. To adjust the sound level while communicating, adjust the chat mixer settings:

Press the Xbox button  to open the guide, then select Profile & system > Settings > General > Audio output & volume.
Select Additional Options > Chat Mixer, and choose one of the options.

This happened to me a few times in the same game, when I discovered a solution: make sure you plugged your headset into the controller before opening the game, do a test by creating a group using your own xbox, if it is working, try opening the game.

Also, make sure that in the audio options the mic is enabled and in the game options the audio is set for the group of people you are playing (xbox group, group or game)
