Greyed out Join game on Xbox one Party or Friends list

Just got my xbox one and updated the console. I've added a few friends to date but when I see them playing a game the join game and join party is always greyed out!?

Why is that so? I can never ever join a random guys or friends game cause it's always greyed out. This was never so difficult on the 360!

Please some help

Thanks

Thanks for replying. So the issue is that when I’m on my Series S and he’s on his Xbox One, the option to Join Game, Party or anything is greyed out on the Xbox profile menu. Also, he doesn’t even appear in the Minecraft friends list inside the game.

But when I attempt on my Xbox One, it’s the complete opposite and I can easily join him.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for contacting the forums. I am sorry to hear you having issues with joining your friends in a game. Sometimes whenever the option for joining a game can be grey out due to a fully party, private session or in an active session. Is this happening
for all of your friends and what is your NAT type connection on the Xbox?

Same here - 3 of us and we can't even join a party together because the party and join game is greyed out. Getting fed up of it all now.

Yes it is through the friends list, the join option comes up grey instead of white so cant even click it to join, I can join the game their in but not the chat.
