I am having issues with parties on the xbox app on PC

@jeffazz That is not relevant. I am not streaming my Xbox to PC, I am using the Xbox Party App, within the Xbox App for windows 10

Hi Todd Vandergalien

i am sorry you have to undergo this issue.

I am pretty sure you can not use the companion app on pc while its logged in on the xbox

I tried this too and this worked fine for me:

1. Go onto the xbox and make a party

2. invite the friend your son wants to talk with

3. On the pc you will see a message popup saying '... invited you to an xbox party'

4. Click on the message popup/ find it in notifications and you will join the party

If this does not work i think you'll be out of options

Just so that I am clear when you are trying this in party chat? In game chat?

You can hear the other players in the chat but they can not hear you?

Are you starting the party through the stream on the xbox itself? Or are you starting the party through the xbox app on the pc itself?

These are two different things.

I personally have noticed that if I try and join a party through the Xbox itself and not the xbox app I can hear the other people but they can not hear me. If I join the party or start a party and have people join through the xbox app on the PC then it works
fine.

So try that and see if that fixes your problem.

Sorry I was out of town. As for the NAT. I am on PC and others are on Xbox. I have not had this issue before. Per the PC problem NAT type would be using port forwarding (Which I am not doing and should not need to for the purposes of Xbox party)

I am running Google Fiber and do not have any network issues in-game or otherwise outside of the Xbox Party staying connected.

What is the next step?

Hello,

I am also having this issue. I have tried all things above and nothing has worked. I sound fine in game chat in all my games and in discord just not in xbox live party chat via xbox app on PC.

Is there an update that I need to perform on the application?
