In Game Chat Text Not Visible To Others On Windows 10 Minecraft Lifeboat Network

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good evening

It sounds like you are having a problem with the chat feature in Lifeboat on Windows 10. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

Make sure you have the latest version of the Lifeboat app installed on your device. You can check for updates by going to the Microsoft Store and looking for updates for the app.

Check your privacy settings to make sure they are set correctly. You can do this by going to "Settings" > "Privacy" on your device and checking the settings under "Microphone" and "Camera".

If you are using a microphone or headset to communicate with other players, make sure it is properly connected and working. You can check the device's manual for instructions on how to troubleshoot any issues.

Try quitting the Lifeboat app and restarting it to see if that resolves the problem.

If none of these steps help, you may want to try contacting the Lifeboat support team for further assistance. You can find contact information for the support team on the Lifeboat website.

Looked through some of the help articles - man the information is confusing.

Anyways from what I'm inferring from the posts is that you can play Windows 10 to Windows 10, and Pocket Edition to Windows 10 and that's it right now.

"You can play Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta with other devices running Pocket Edition, such as Windows 10 and Windows Phone devices. Right now, you can play local multiplayer on Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta. Soon after the launch, online
play will be available for Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta."

Can I play online with other people on Windows 10? Or on different devices?

You can play with up to four other people running Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta or Pocket Edition on your local network. You can also play online with up to four of your Xbox Live friends in online multiplayer gaming.

Hi I'm trying to download Minecraft windows 10 on my pc, having previously owned it on xbox. It doesn't say I own the game in the store yet it is on my account purchase history. I have spoken to someone on a text help chat and they were unable to resolve
the issue. What should I do - I would be very annoyed to have to buy the game again.

you are going to need to buy the windows 10 version because Xbox minecraft and PC is different

To turn that on:

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
   
2. Select Profile & system > Settings > Ease of Access > Game and chat transcription.
   
3. To transcribe other party members’ voices into text, select the Speech-to-text checkbox.
   
4. To have your chat text read aloud to other party members, select the Text-to-speech checkbox. To choose the voice that other people will hear when your chat text is read aloud, select one of the available voices in the Text-to-speech voice menu.

Hey there,

Is there a specific error code that you get with that error message? It sounds like there may a network issue, or there may be other software installed on your Windows 10 PC that may be interfering with connecting to the game's servers. To start, let's try
uninstalling and reinstalling Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition from your Windows 10 PC. You can uninstall Minecraft from the app list within the Start Menu on Windows 10, and reinstall the game through the Windows Store.

Hope this helps!
