    I cannot play Minecraft on Realms due to "Cannot join multiplayer games"


    Hello,

    I've gone through and ensured that "Join multiplayer games" has been enabled on the Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety tab, but I've never been able to get Realms to work.

    Would really like to get this to work.

    Thanks.

    :)

    We are having the same issues where the child account cannot join realms on an iOS device but if we log that account into a PC it IS able to join the realm

    On iOS its giving the account cannot join multiplayer games message

    Minecraft Bedrock Edition: Realms Privacy Settings Problem

    Whenever I try to Create or Join a Minecraft Bedrock Edition Realm, I am given a message about my security options not allowing it. I have repeatedly tested my Privacy settings disabling and reenabling them. I can see that my Privacy settings do effect
    my ability to play multiplayer through the Server menu but when I have multiplayer enabled and can join a server I still cannot start a minecraft realm nor join anyone elses. Any solutions would be helpful!

    I cannot play Minecraft on Realms due to "Cannot join multiplayer games"

    Hi GamerDad,

    Thanks for reaching out to us! We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experience with Minecraft realms not working properly. The error message is saying "Cannot join multiplayer games" but is there any other error code or message? I would like to
    ask a few clarifying questions first.

    • Is this a child or adult account being used?
    • Does Multiplayer or Local work with the account?
    • Which platform is being used? PC (Windows 10) or Xbox One
    Please try the following: Remove account from Family.
    Then try to sign into another Microsoft account, then add the first account as an "Adult" family member. From there, try to see if it is possible to change the settings and save them this way. Also, please try another device to see if it is possible to change
    the Online Safety and Privacy Settings like
    a phone, tablet, console etc.

    Also, check out the following two links for more information:

    I hope this helps!

    Hello, Nyx. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    Do you want to join other people's Realms, right? Please take a look at:

    https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

    If you still cannot join your friends Realms, may I know what exactly is not letting you play on Realms? You cannot see your friends' Realms? You can see them but cannot join?

    Waiting for your follow-up.

    cannot connect to any realm or server

    I’ve tried all available to PlayStation of the above and I still cannot join any multiplayer realm or such. I played on my friends realm 3 days ago but since then I’ve not been able to join. It says “connecting” and then immediately closes out not joining the world.
