Ghost chat issue Trying to chat on any Minecraft Bedrock Server no one can see my chat

Hello Christopher J, My name is oskayra and it will be a pleasure to help you.

I tell you in advance so that there are no misunderstandings, this is a public forum for user-to-user support. We are users who help other users. We do not work for Microsoft and do not have access to any user accounts.

I understand that you are having problems using multiplayer chat in Minecraft. You have checked all your settings and everything should be correct. Yesterday you were able to chat with friends on your server, but now you can't even see the chat in the game.

Here are some things you can try to fix the problem:

Restart Minecraft. This may fix temporary issues with the game.

Check your Internet connection. Make sure you have a stable Internet connection and that there are no problems with your router or modem.

Restart your computer or mobile device. This may fix temporary issues with your device.

Update Minecraft. There may be a new update that fixes the problem.

Try playing on another server. If you can chat on another server, then the problem is with the server you are trying to play on.

If you've tried all of these things and the problem persists, you may need to contact Minecraft support for help.

Hello Jag G,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

I understand that you are experiencing an issue with Minecraft Bedrock Edition where your chats do not appear for others, but you can see other people's chats. This issue could be caused by a few different things, such as a network connectivity issue or a problem with the game itself.

Before proceeding, I need to know more details so that we can get the best possible troubleshooting for you.

-Is this happening to all your games?
-Are you getting any error message?

Basing on the statement you provided above, here are some troubleshooting steps that you may try:



1. Check your network connection
Make sure that you have a stable internet connection and that your NAT type is set to "Open". You can check your NAT type in the game's settings.



2. Restart the game
Try restarting Minecraft Bedrock Edition and see if the issue persists.



3. Check your chat settings
Make sure that your chat settings are set to "Visible to Everyone" and that you have not accidentally muted your friend.



4. Reinstall the game
If none of the above steps work, try uninstalling and reinstalling Minecraft Bedrock Edition.



If the issue still persists after trying these steps, please contact Minecraft support for further assistance.

if the issue still persists, please let me know. I will be waiting for you, and I would be more than glad to assist you further.

Thanks for checking. I also do not see any issues with the server at the moment. Are you still able to create a party chat and chat with friends though?

Can you also check your network settings and test multiplayer, see if it give you any errors.

I'm able to talk in everything else but the featured servers in Minecraft. Well, I can my own messages in the chat, but no one else can.

Why is my Minecraft chat not working?

To fix the 'Can't chat in Minecraft” error, go to Options > Chat settings and change the settings from Command Only to Shown. This will let you talk and share your thoughts
with all the other creative Minecraft players. If chat is still unavailable, disconnect from the game and then enable the connection again. Also a way to fix is hard resetting your game by quitting out of the game launching
another and then quit that, turn off Xbox, and unplug it. Let it set for 10 then try again.

In the newest update to bedrock these options are no longer there. As the UI has changed for Minecraft bedrock edition.
