Open Group Chat Greyed Out in my own LFG post (I’m the host) on Xbox Series X

As you mentioned, the option gets active in the Xbox because of the option you activated on the PC, the Xbox doesn't let you choose exactly chat only, as the PC specifically states chat preference for you and the Xbox only let you add a tag that says text chat required, but on PC you can select Voice required on the preference and then add the tag(as in the Xbox) for text chat required

I'm guessing this is because on PC is easier to write, as all users will have a keyboard, but not on the console, that's just what I think

Hmm. That’s strange. The text chat only and voice required are both options on the Xbox as well.

So does this mean that on Xbox there is gather party only?

Because if that were true then opening a group chat from the pc then would let this feature be accessible on Xbox and it has nothing to do with if u select voice required or text chat only at all.

It’s just a simple click. Accept atleast one person to the post as confirmed and open group chat on the Xbox game bar. And then u can head over to Xbox add more people as confirmed and directly see even the lfg post from there as well (the chat from open group chat), which is all meant for Xbox.

And it will also add all people to the group chat regardless of their privacy settings meaning they won’t be “invited to group chat” but directly added, since they joined the post with “I’m interested”

All this leads to further clarity that this is merely oversight or wantedly the team doing these features have been lazy in the dev department by not making the simple open group chat clickable on Xbox. Perhaps something to do with the new Xbox game Bar and Xbox pc app.

But the point is, that after that single click on the pc Xbox game bar “open group chat” everything works fine on Xbox from there onwards for that post… until it expires.

Glad to know it’s not actually there on Xbox, and we have to turn on pc simply to do a one click painstaking option which should be on the xbox itself… maybe the xbox mobile app too.

Wish they had it in the old mobile app version which still works today for doing lfg posts and such. A PC is just so cumbersome.

As for gather party it invites everyone to party and then if u leave the party it withdraws anyone who joins and leaves and sometimes even closes the lfg post.

P.S. Seems like a lot to be fixed in the networking department but nothing will be for atleast another half decade from now. Yet they make us pay for Xbox live gold. SMH poor service preferring PC for a simple option click.

Hi ಮೊಹಮ್ಮದ್! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Could you please share a picture of how it looks on your Xbox ?

Have you tried checking your privacy settings online? The same account used on the Xbox is also used on the PC?

Why gather party is not a solution?

As I mentioned is official site by Xbox, you can see that here

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2019/03/29/engage-u...

The why is on Reddit I really can't say, but it's really official

As I mentioned before was a pleasure, hope this gets implemented in the future, have a great gaming

The site is the official Idea Hub from Xbox not a third party site that has nothing to do with them, it's a official site

And this is a community forum where you are being help by community members, I can't change how the feature is designed, so I can only explain the reason why it works like that

Have a great day
