Minecraft joining friends game problem

So... it appears you're having problems connecting to your friends worlds in Minecraft for Windows 10.

I would have them check their in-game settings in Minecraft under the main menu there, and make sure that Online play is enabled. Sometimes this is switched to being disabled and therefore they cannot join any online games and friends cannot join their game
either. Both you and your friends should check in Minecraft settings and make sure that Online play is enabled and friends are allowed to join. Then you can select which permissions you would like to enable for your friends when they join your world after
that.

My Minecraft friends no add and no join please problem fixed please

hello minecraft only allows you to join your friend's games to avoid people joining random people's worlds and destroying em, so no games will be on the list unless your friend has minecraft and is online in his/her world.

Same problem. I'm trying ro record a friends minecraft server and it says I cannot join because we are not friends. This is really frustrating

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?
