xbox game bar shows as online (need help)

I have the same issue with Diablo IV on the xbox game bar. The game was install using battle.net. It appears the xbox game bar recognizes it is a game however, my status only shows online. I believe this is the only game so far that I have encounter this issue. The resources top task in the game bar shows battle.net as high and not Diablo IV, but the task manager shows Diablo IV. Call of Duty was installed using battle.net as well; however, xbox game bar shows the status as playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare.

Hi,

You can change your online Status on PC via the Game Bar. Press and hold the Windows Key and
tap G on the keyboard.

Or with an Xbox controller attached to the PC, access the Game Bar by pressing the
Xbox button.

Depending on how the Game Bar is set up on the PC a number of Windows will be displayed. Showing as Online or Offline is available in the Xbox Social window. To configure the game bar to your liking, press the Overlay Menu, next
to the time. This will allow you to change what Windows of the Game Bar are displayed.

Hi DrMinecraft04,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to try and help here.

Are you both playing on Minecraft Windows 10 Edition? It's not directly mentioned what version you play. If you do, then all games downloaded from the Microsoft Store and launched through the Xbox App will need to have the Xbox Game Bar overlay enabled and
opened with Windows key+G to receive and accept invites.

You should ask your friend if he set himself to show offline and just forgot to set it back to show online as that's the only reason they would be displaying as so. Have them open the Xbox Game Bar and check under the Social widget.

Hi,

While it can be done via the companion app, the quickest way is via the Windows Game Bar via
Xbox Social. You can access the Game Bar in either of two ways:

With an Xbox controller attached to the PC, access the Game Bar by pressing the Xbox button.

Without a controller via the keyboard, you can access it by holding down the
Windows Key and pressing G on the keyboard.

Depending on how the Game Bar is set up on the PC a number of Windows will be displayed. Showing as Online or Offline is available in the
Xbox Social window. To configure the game bar to your liking, press the
Overlay Menu, next to the time. This will allow you to change what Windows of the Game Bar are displayed.
