Invite to game issue

Hi,

So you can start a Voice Chat with another player, and then add other people to that voice chat (or they can join in). Starting a Voice Chat with someone on Windows 10 via the Game Bar is a One-to-one to start, and you can't just start
an "empty" party as you can on Console unless you use the Console Companion app.

This page has a few more details on the Game Bar, but additionally I believe you can still use the Xbox Console Companion App to start a party as well in the more traditional manner.

Hey Friend! My names Keyonna and I am an Xbox Ambassador and I'll be glad to help you out!

Here are a couple things you could do:

1. With the console on, press and hold the Xbox button until you see 3 options. If you see the 3 options, go to restart console. This will not clean any data out at all.

Try again and see if that resloved the issue.

If that doesn't work, please follow these steps to factory reset while keeping all games and apps. This requires your account login after the reset is done because this will remove almost everything:

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
2. Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.
3. Select Reset console.
4. On the Reset your console? screen, select Reset and keep my games & apps.
5. After you select "Reset and keep my games and apps" Your Xbox console will begin the process of erasing the selected content and resetting itself to the default settings.

console companion is the better choice plus when you use game bar if you click out of the bar to play the game and you have push to talk enabled the game bar has to be open for you to talk. or you could always download the xbox beta app.

Thanks for contacting us my name is Samy, I am advisor independent and I will be helping you today.

How are you, mate?

Clean the MAC from both consoles and test again.

Clean your console's MAC and restart your internet devices.

Network Settings> Advanced Settings> MAC Address and Clear.

If the same happens, could you put your console IP in your modem's DMZ zone?

Hey there, RocMT!

I'm sorry to see any issues with receiving game/party invites. We've seen a few people complaining about this, particularly Destiny players. I see on your public profile that you are a connoisseur of the game, so it's likely you're running into the similar
issues.

One thing I've noticed with others is that they are having issues with xbox.com messaging. If you log into several browsers for Xbox Live messages, do you receive any errors or just not loading messages? I'm trying to see if they might be related.

If you can load your messages just fine, can you post back with your detailed network statistics? You can get these by going to Settings > All settings > Network > Network settings > Detailed network statistics. I want to ensure there's
nothing there that could be blocking this.

I look forward to working with you on this!
