I can’t join any minecraft servers on Nintendo Switch

Egg 007 · Nov 8, 2021

when I go on the server page it says I can’t play online multiplayer because of how my Microsoft account is set up. But when I go on settings I can’t find any thing about online multiplayer. It’s really frustrating.

Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. I believe this is happening because your account is not configured to be able to play multiplayer games, in order for you to change this setting, your Microsoft account must be an adult, if it is configured as a child account, follow the procedure below, please.

If your account is a child/teenager you will have to ask an adult to create a Microsoft account and invite you to a family group so that person can manage your privacy settings. To create a family group, please use the information provided in the article below.

-Once an adult creates an account and adds you to their family group, they should follow the instructions below.

Visit the website: https://account.xbox.com/en-us/settings

The adult must have his account logged in at the moment, and then he will see your profile and hers, he must change the settings of his profile, in the case of the child.

In the privacy tab check that the options, "You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text" and Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites" are set to allow.

Also, check the Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety tab, and see if the ''You can join multiplayer games'' option is set to allow.

*Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.

We recommend checking this => Minecraft for Nintendo Switch FAQ – Home. You could also restart your router to troubleshoot the issue. If the link provided wasn't helpful, it would be best to get in touch with the Nintendo Switch support for further assistance. Keep in mind that this could also be from the game developer's side so might want to check with them as well in case there are no issues with the Nintendo Switch.

I play on PS4 and I have the same problem. I can’t join any servers because of that.
