Hi Brad thanks for your reply. Do you know how the the problem on the Nintendo Switch? I really appreciate your help.

Hi IAM9,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your issue. Here is a guide to change the
privacy and online settings.We
will give you the steps to change the exact ones for the cross platform use.

1. Go to Xbox.com and sign in to your account (this must be an adult account).
   
   
   
2. Once signed in, Select the gamertag for your child's account.
   
   
3. Select Xbox settings. If you don't see this option, select
   More links … and then select Xbox settings.
   
4. Click on privacy and online safety.
   
5. Select either the Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety tab or the Privacy
   tab. Review the current settings and update any that you want to change..
   
   
6. The two you want to make sure say allow and everybody are:

1. "you can play with people outside of Xbox live" set to allow

2. "you can communicate outside of Xbox live with voice and text" set to allow

Hope this helps.

Have you an active Nintendo Switch Online Subscription? I ask this because I found the following Q/A on Minecraft Nintendo Switch FAQ:

Can I play Realms on this edition?

Yes, Realms is available on the Bedrock edition of Minecraft for Nintendo Switch. To play online on a Nintendo Switch, you need to have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, so this is a requirement for playing on Realms. More information about Nintendo Switch Online can be found here.

Furthermore, can you post the entire error message (better a screenshot/photo)?
