    Looking For Group on Xbox Game Bar doesn't detect that I am playing Minecraft


    I used to have no problems with the looking for group widget in the Xbox game bar. Now, every time I play Minecraft (Windows Version) it fails to detect that I am playing it. Every time I go to the "Find Players" tab of the looking for group widget it says, "Launch a game to see available groups to join." This happens when I have Minecraft launched prior to opening the game bar and when I launch the game after opening the game bar. I thought the problem might be that I was using the Minecraft Launcher instead of the Xbox app to launch the game, so I tried launching the Minecraft Launcher as well as Minecraft for Windows through the Xbox app, but neither worked. I would also like to note that this issue only occurs when I play Minecraft specifically and when I play other games the looking for group function works as expected. Additionally, I have tried restarting my computer and signing in/out of my Xbox account.

    :)

    Xbox Game Bar Looking for Group doesn't show the game I want to play

    But I wasn’t using the companion app. I was using the game bar. Why are there only certain games on the game bar looking for group section?

    Fallout 76 PC - Looking For A Group does NOT show up on xbox PC app

    Thank you for responding, my steam account is linked but nothing really changed. When I play Fallout 76 PC in the recent players location, no recent players show up that I have played in game. Also the "Looking for a group" does not show up for this game but for others yes, this on the xbox game bar in the app. So i'm a bit frustrated, is there anyway to screen share with a technician? i't just very strange for me that it doesn't show up for me and the whole point of fallout 76 is to play and join others. The most important thing for me is the 'Looking for a group" section that doesn't show up.
