We understand the inconvenience caused and we are here to help. As per description, you are having problem chatting friends on your PC using Xbox Game Bar. Let us check on this together and sort this out to assist your concern.

To better understand, we would like to ask few questions about it.

1. When did the problem start?
   
2. Is this happening only when you are on a party with friends?
   
3. Are there changes made that may cause the problem?
   
4. Do you get error message? Do you mind sending a screenshot?

We will first do our research so we can give you concrete answers about what is causing the problem.

My name is Fernando I'm an independent consultant, I'm happy to help

This procedure may help in this chat case: Go to Settings > Audio and change the audio settings from Party Only to All Lobby Audio. You can also disable the Proximity Chat option in the Audio section.

I hope I helped and see you soon.

How is it going?

Hey, so:

- I tried to switch to another connection (hotspot via phone), but still lag

Then casually I tried to play always with the same friends but instead of using the Xbox Group Chat, we used the in game one. ALL PERFECT.

Really the group chat can cause these lags? How is that possible?
