Joining (Joinable) parties on new Xbox App

When i try to join my friends party on Xbox one it works fine, but on windows it shows they are in a party but when i click on their name it doesnt show they are in a party. This has only been happening recently

Hi, Try to Restart you Xbox app on Pc then try again. If this didn't work go into their profile and then wait a few if the join party button doesn't show up check if their party is on joinable if so please report the problem in the app and let your friends
send you and invite while your report is processed.

Hope this help.

Unfamiliar what the invite is I was hoping I could get a clear understanding what it is exactly. I was playing a game and some random player asked for Inv. This was unusual for me and I didn't know what that meant. I sent in invite
to party not knowing what I was doing and it said so and so was joined the party. Not knowing what I did I just continued playing and after 2 or 3 hours later it said that person left the party. Can someone explained to me what happened?

Hello mex187Lakeshore,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums I have read through your message and there nothing to worry about. because the Party on Xbox live is basically a tool or application that enables you to talk to people in party and while
being in party you can play games, change settings to

Joinable - Any one can join party

invite only - people in the party have to invite person to join

How to create party


Press the Xbox button
to open the guide.

Select Multiplayer > Start a party.

How to join party

To join an Party, follow the same process as above, Home to
Profile, but instead of selecting friends, scroll to the right to see a list of active parties under
Parties. Selecta party and make sure the party on Joinable if it not message person ask for invite.

How to change the party settings_



once you Start the party

click on party controls

select make party Joinable or Invite only

I hope this help

Thanks

Same here - playing EA NHL Legacy on Xbox 360 - can't send game invites. Can't send any messages on Xbox 360. Can join another person's party by going to their profile and clicking join party, but can't send or receive a party invite. Even if they are in a joinable game though, the "Join Game" option does not appear on their profile, so without game invites there's no way for us to play a game together. This is awful - any fix soon?

try pressing select on your controller and changing your party options to "Joinable public" or "Joinable Friends"

Unable to start parties for the last 24hrs im also not able to join "joinable" parties unless im invited. I would very much appreiciate it if someome would help me. Im part of the preview programme if that helps.

With kind regards,
