How does my Xbox friend join me on my Nintendo Switch worlds

Hello LennonTheLemon,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community,

To get started with cross-play for Minecraft today, you can follow these steps:

• For Xbox One users:
  
  • Ensure “Minecraft” is used, rather than the incompatible “Minecraft: Xbox One Edition.”
    
  • Open the Microsoft Store on Xbox One.
    
  • Select the Search title.
    
  • Type Minecraft.
    
  • Select Minecraft from the available titles.
    
  • Download Minecraft for Xbox One.
    
  • After completing the above steps, your Xbox One is primed for Minecraft cross-play with other systems.
    
• For Nintendo Switch users:
  
  • Ensure “Minecraft” is installed, rather than the incompatible “Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition.”
    
  • Open the Nintendo eShop.
    
  • Navigate to the Search tab.
    
  • Search for Minecraft.
    
  • Select Minecraft from the available titles.
    
  • Download Minecraft for Nintendo Switch.
    
  • Open Minecraft.
    
  • Select Sign In For Free when prompted to sign into your Microsoft account.
    
  • Navigate to https://aka.ms/remoteconnect on your PC or mobile.
    
  • Enter the unique code displayed on-screen.
    
  • Sign into your Microsoft account.
    
  • A confirmation screen will be displayed. Your Xbox Live profile will appear on your Nintendo Switch shortly after.
    
  • Select Let’s Play to complete the process

Not long ago my friends would always be able go join me, both Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, however now they can”t join me no matter what, I’ve changed the way of joining which is “Friends of friends” to “Friend only” to “Invite only” and nothing works,
they all get the message “Unable to connect.”

If you have the Bedrock version for PS4 then you would be able to play crossplay between Windows 10, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and mobile.

Do note that PS4 does not have the ability to access Realms or Servers at the moment. You can only join friends on a world.
