Xbox Game Bar - See Who is in a party before joining?

I have the same issue, it was bad before, but after the most recent update I received yesterday, Game Bar is almost unusable. It keeps crashing EVERY single time I bring it up so I have to do it twice and if I want to check who's online or join a party,
it's going to crash AGAIN. It also takes multiple attempts to join the party chat and if I'm a part of one and receive an invite, Game Bar crashes again. Over and over and over again.

I just recently reset my Windows 10 and things got a lot better, but this is not good anymore. Is there a way to revert to the previous Game Bar version? I'm running Win 10 ver 1903 (18362.295) and Xbox Game Bar version is 3.32.290001.0

I assume you're using the Xbox Game Bar to join parties? If so, could you try using either the Xbox Beta app, or the Xbox Console Companion app and see if you have the same volume issues? Hopefully it's just a Game Bar issue.

I believe he's referring to when you could see who was in the party before you joined it like you can do when you're on xbox. Was this feature removed?

Did you check the status NAT :

On the Network settings screen, under Current Network Status, the NAT Type field will tell you your current NAT type.

If moderate NAT or strict NAT

Thats one of the priveiledges of being the party leader is being able to boot the people you dont know.I generally will not join friends who are in a party if they are not the host.Sometimes its better to start your own party then send your friend an invite
to join you.More often then not you will get kicked for joining someone who is not on your friends list.Try sending a voice message and ask your friend to see if the host minds you joining instead of randomly popping in.

Exactly what I was thinking. I do the same before randomly joining a game with friends if there are others in the party.
