Minecraft Cross Platform Option Does Not Appear In Game

I'm unsure right now but I'll make sure to tell him, also it's not really that I dont think, when I search up how to invite cross-platform friends on google I get videos where they load a world and select invite to game where three options appear, the main one being invite cross-platform friends but that doesn't appear for me, so do I already need cross-platform friends for the option to appear or am I just screwed?

It won't mention cross platform, it will simply show you which friends are online, if any.

I assume its the Minecraft Bedrock edition? https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/minecraft (shown toward the bottom of this page)

Yes ofc, does not give me any option for cross plafor (sorry for responding late lol)

Yes, I'm aware the setting to allow cross-platform parties is in the Fortnite game itself. That option does not appear in the games settings when using the child account with Fortnite.

What is strange is that I logged into an adult account and don't see the setting to allow cross platform parties either, but cross platform play is enabled. It used to appear on the game settings screen just under the options for streamer mode. Epic may
have updated the UI with the latest release. With the adult account, I was using a keyboard and mouse and when I went to start the game I was prompted to allow cross platform support since Epic wants to pair Xbox players using keyboard and mouse with PC players
using the same controls to make the games fair.

When I tried to start a game with the child account Fornite displayed a message saying cross platform play is not allow on this account. No option to enable it was given. So it looks like Epic may have changed how this works, but they still are not recognizing
when these options should be accessible to the child account OR the settings on the web aren't actually getting to the Xbox console itself.

I'll try removing the child account from the Xbox and re-adding it.

cross platform will automatically happen as soon as a PC player joins you.

In the EPIC game launcher on PC you van add friends. Those friends will appear as online in your game on Xbox.

From there you can create a cross platform party.

This is not the case every time there is a message saying that cross platform needs to be enabled. And the option is not available on the child account

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

Make sure that your account settings are set to "Allow". For you to manage it you can simply sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings.

If the system detects that your account is a child account you will be redirected to a support site and if not you will be able to change it successfully.

If you were redirected to a support page, please sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/family and check if there is an organizer account linked to your account then use the organizer account so sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings then "allow" the setting on this screenshot:
