good night

it's probably your nat or your friends' nat, do the network test.

What is NAT:

NAT is nothing more than a protocol that translates IP addresses and TCP ports from the local network to the Internet. In other words, the packet to be sent or received from your workstation on your local network goes to the server where your ip is exchanged for the ip of the server and the replacement of the ip of the local network validates the sending of the packet on the internet. When the package returns, the same thing happens, but in reverse. This ensures that the package reaches its destination.

Why is NAT important?

Your NAT type, combined with the NAT type of other players, determines whether you can successfully use multiplayer games or group chats. The following tables illustrate the differences between NAT types. And based on your NAT type, who you can play multiplayer games with, and who you can listen to in a group chat.

OPEN NAT

You can chat with other people, as well as host and participate in multiplayer games with people who have any type of NAT on the network.

MODERATE NAT

You can chat and play multiplayer games with some people; however, you may not hear or play with others and will likely not be chosen to host a match.

STRICT NAT

You can chat and participate in multiplayer games with people who have an OPEN NAT type. You cannot be chosen as a match host.

NAT UNAVAILABLE

You will not be able to use group chat or connect to multiplayer games on some titles on Xbox Live.

Hi Amanda!

Sorry to hear about the issue. Just to confirm, is she the one who can't join your world or you are the one who can't join her world?

I know your other friends can join your world but are her other friends able to join her world as well except you?

Hey Oscar!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

If I may ask, are you trying to join your friend's world on the Switch platform device in Minecraft game, is that correct?

Also, may I have the exact error message upon attempting to join your friends' world, please?
