Xbox game bar parties not working

Party chat on Windows/Xbox App still works. An alternative is the Xbox game bar Party.

To bring up the Xbox game bar, Hold the Windows button and Press "G"

From there you will be able to initiate a Party and Much more!

Game Bar and Xbox app conflict withneach other so bad. Once I installed Game Bar i had to remove Xbox App. But in the last two weeks Game Bar is working really bad. It refuses to let me join party chats. I send invites to party chat as well do not work.
I tried to go back to xbox app since i can not tolerate half working software, and now Xbox app half works. No notification comes up at all for Xbox app but Game Bar persists even when i shut it of. I wanted uninstall Game Bar but you cant.

Game Bar is cool and all but not worth it. How do i get rid of it?

Have you checked your gamebar audio settings and made sure your mic is chosen as your input? For example, I chose my headset instead of the default on my laptop.

Hi there Paidguy welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Have you tried uninstalling and installing the app?

Please answer the following questions to assist you properly:

Are you on Windows 10 or 11?
Is this the first time you use the party chat feature in your PC?
In order to isolate a bit more the issue, could you try the party chat feature using the Xbox mobile app?

In the meantime, let me know what's saying for NAT type:

Open the Xbox Console Companion app (if you don't find it, you can download it from the store) > Settings > Network
