Xbox Game/Party Chat Not Working

Hey everyone, I’ve been having this ongoing issue where my Xbox game chat and party chat randomly don’t work. Sometimes when I try to talk I get a message saying I need to change my privacy or communication settings. The thing is—I’ve already double-checked everything and all my settings are correct to allow communication. Nothing is blocked.

I’ve made sure:

• My NAT type is open or moderate

• My privacy settings allow voice and text communication with everyone

• I’m not muted or in a communication ban

• My headset is working and plugged in properly

• The Xbox app (if I’m on PC/mobile) is up to date

Still, the issue comes and goes. It’s super frustrating, especially when I’m in the middle of a party or game. Has anyone else had this issue or found a fix? Is this an Xbox Live bug or something tied to certain games?

Any help would be appreciated!

:)
