“Join Multiplayer Games” Settings
If you have your settings set to block joining multiplayer games, you can’t join any multiplayer games in Minecraft, including shared local worlds, Realms or servers. To enable multiplayer in Minecraft, make sure this setting is set to ‘Allow.’

However, just like ASCllnaut, that setting was already turned on for my children. In other words I'm in the same boat, we can play on the LAN but not on a realm.

It sounds like there may still be some restrictions in place on your Microsoft account that are preventing you from playing Minecraft multiplayer. To resolve this issue, you should try the following steps:

Check your account settings: Log into your Microsoft account and navigate to the "Privacy & settings" section. Look for any settings that might be affecting your ability to play multiplayer games, such as content restrictions.

Clear your cache and cookies: Clearing your browser cache and cookies can sometimes resolve issues with accessing certain features on Microsoft's website.

Check your Xbox app settings: If you have the Xbox app installed, make sure that it is not blocking your ability to play multiplayer games. You can check this by navigating to the "Settings" section in the Xbox app and looking for any restrictions.

Contact Microsoft support: If you are still unable to play Minecraft multiplayer after trying the above steps, you should contact Microsoft support for further assistance. They will be able to look into your account and provide a more personalized solution for your issue.

I hope these steps help resolve the issue and you are able to play Minecraft multiplayer soon!
