    multiplayer in Minecraft won't work

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    You can simply sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings and from there make sure that these settings are set to “allow” or “everyone”:

    * You can see and upload community creations

    * You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text

    * Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites

    * You can play with people outside of Xbox Live

    * You can create and join clubs

    * You can join multiplayer games

    Make sure to hit “submit” when you made any changes.

    Once confirmed that they're setup correctly please make sure that you also have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription because it is required to play a paid online multiplayer game.

    To check please follow the steps below:

    Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then select System > Settings > Account > Subscriptions.

    Why Multiplayer is not working

    You also need to make sure the games you're trying to play support local split-screen (multiplayer). For example, Forza Horizon 4 does not have local split-screen, you can only play online with others. Forza 7 does, it should be listed under the single
    player tab.
