Inviting friend to join Minecraft world/game in progress

That's strange. She must have the ability checked off for friends to join her online world if her daughter can join. I was going to suggest making sure she has it set to "joinable" within the Minecraft menu. Has she also tried to send you a Game Invite
through her actual friends list on the console? While she's in the game, she can press the Home button to pull up the side menu, go to Friends List, find you, and select Invite > Invite to Game. That should also work if her world is online and joinable. I've
joined and invited friends to my Minecraft games before through the Friends List like that. Good luck, I hope that works!

Dear Temiloluwa Akinyemi

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.

I would like to know what platform or game you are trying to add multiplayer to.

Below you will find the usual settings for adding multiplayer to XBOX or Minecraft.

To enable multiplayer in an Xbox game, follow these steps:

Make sure you have an Xbox Live Gold subscription. Most multiplayer games on Xbox require an Xbox Live Gold subscription to play online with others.

Start the game you want to play multiplayer in.

Look for an option in the game's main menu or settings that allows you to select multiplayer mode or join an online game.

If prompted, sign in to your Xbox Live account.

Follow the on-screen instructions to join a multiplayer game or create a party with friends.

Once you are in a multiplayer game, you can invite friends to join you or join a game with random players.

Enjoy playing with others online in multiplayer mode.

=======================================

To enable multiplayer in Minecraft, follow these steps:

Launch Minecraft on your Xbox console.

Make sure you are signed in to your Xbox Live account.

From the main menu, select "Play" and then choose the world you want to play in.

Once in the world, press the Start button on your controller to open the in-game menu.

Select "Invite to Game" to invite friends to join your world or select "Friends" to see a list of your friends who are currently online and invite them to join.

You can also choose to join a friend's world by selecting "Join Friends" from the main menu.

If you want to join a public multiplayer server, select "Servers" from the main menu and browse the list of available servers to join.

Enjoy playing Minecraft with friends in multiplayer mode!

Best wishes

My son and his 2 friends are trying to play Minecraft together by joining the same world. My son is hosting on his android-device, and have sent a invitation to each of his friends.

We have tried the following:

Case 1: "Friend 1" gets the invite, and joins the game. "Friend 2" gets the invite, at tries to join the game, but gets a time-out.

Case 2: "Friend 2" gets the invite, and joins the game. "Friend 1" gets the invite, at tries to join the game, but gets a time-out.

Case 3: "Friend 1" creates a game, and "Friend 2" joins and can play. My son tries to join but gets a time-out.

The maximum player-limit is 10, and they are 3 players in total.

What can be the problem, when both of his friends can join individually to my sons game, but when they try to join the same game one of them gets a time-out?

There are no lobbys like other games in minecraft. If your friends have minecraft you can join them if they have their worlds open. Most of the time they won't. This is because some people will destroy what you build. If your friends game is open you will
see a screen saying so when the game starts. From that screen you can join them. You can also invite friends to your own world. It is also possible to allow friends of friends to join your game, just go through the settings and you will find this option. I
also suggest going to the minecraft forum here:
forums.xbox.com/.../2414.aspx as there are a lot of people looking for friends to play with.

Hello xandeth75, What your son needs to do to play online with different players is to add friends that play Minecraft too. There is no such thing as a dedicated server for Minecraft (360/ONE). So you need to have friends that play the game then you can
join their world via either a invite or just joining from the world select menu. I hope I answered your question and if you need anymore help just reply. -Chris
