    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 is multiplayer not working??

    Hi, I am Mariano, an independent advisor from the Microsoft-Xbox community. I am sorry you are going through this issue, let us try to fix it :)

    Suggestions:

    1. Check your Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass Ultimate subscription

    2. Restart your console and router

    - A full restart can resolve temporary network issues.

    3. Check the status of Xbox Live and the game server

    - You can check for outages here: https://support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status

    4. Try another internet network

    5. Check if the issue happens with everyone or just one friend

    - If it only happens with one specific friend, it might be a NAT or connection issue on their end.

    If the problem persists, let me know. Otherwise, you can close this question and leave a review. Thanks and have a nice day.
