how do you invite someone not on your friends list to party chat?

On XB1?

Just got to where your friends list is and click on "Find Someone" type in their GT and invite to part/game. Mind you, you might have to add them as a friend first before you can invite them to party, not totally sure.

it also depends if your in a game, in COD and TF you can click on their name and go to view profile, click send then party invite.

You can also goto friends, recent players and do the same there.

Or send them a message and tell them to join your party in which case, they need to goto your profile and click join > party.

It really is a pain is the a** to do a party chat but here is how to do it.....

1) Go to Games & Apps

2) Select Party - screen pops up on right hand side of the screen.

3) Select Start a Party

4) Then you have to invite whichever friend you want to chat with.

And this is where it's really stupid, after you send an invite to your friend you have to select ""Turn on Party Chat"

To me that's a option I shouldn't have to turn on, obviously I want to chat with someone otherwise I wouldn't be in a party chat in the first place. By default this should already be turned on.

Hope this helps.

the Xbox app doesn't really support parties but support party chats. party chat is a message you send to your friends who want to join your party.

here is how to work it. creat a party and located at the top is says invite select your friend who you want to invite they should receive a message all they have to do is click it and they will join.

When I invite someone to party or join someone it says connecting and then it’s will say party chat disconnected and then I can’t join any of my friends does any one know how to fix?
