Xbox Console Companion not allowing me to join Voice Chat parties.

check your new privacy online and security setting. There is alot to tweak

I am having the same issue, where I can join the party but shows I am still connecting and it takes a while. When it does join the party I cannot hear anyone in the party, nor can they hear me, is this the same issue for you as well? headset works fine
and everything and the companion app worked perfectly before, I haven't found a solution.

I have had this issue as well, and have resorted to using my mobile app for party chat.

Hi,

So you can start a Voice Chat with another player, and then add other people to that voice chat (or they can join in). Starting a Voice Chat with someone on Windows 10 via the Game Bar is a One-to-one to start, and you can't just start
an "empty" party as you can on Console unless you use the Console Companion app.

This page has a few more details on the Game Bar, but additionally I believe you can still use the Xbox Console Companion App to start a party as well in the more traditional manner.
