Unable to play Minecraft Realms

The privacy settings are as they were yesterday when minecraft realms was working fine. There has been no change to my settings.

I checked the settings anyway and they allow the correct permissions.

We have just logged in and now it works. I’ve done nothing so I assume Microsoft must have a glitch.

Thanks for the replies.

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I have tried these suggestions and have still had no success. I mentioned that I had checked my privacy settings at Xbox.com but I have tried again multiple times, and tried changing other privacy settings. I was unaware
of the privacy settings on Windows 10 however I could not find anything relating to Online games.

Since it has been a few weeks now and I have been unable to find a solution, I have decided to switch to a new account that can play Realms for this purpose.

Thank you for your help.

Change your privacy settings on Xbox.com

I'm getting this as well, it's telling me;

"You cannot play on Realms because of how your Microsoft Account is set up. Please ensure that your online safety settings allow Multiplayer and Clubs and you have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription. See instructions for changing these settings at aka.ms/MCMultiplayerHelp."

My settings are fine, AND I have a Gold subscription, but I can't get into my own Realm, that I host.

Edit: .. And now it's working.. What the heck..?

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good afternoon

what does the error message say? have you accessed the privacy settings to check?
