    Hi, I'm having a trouble connecting to my cousins minecraft multiplayer game. It keeps showing a message saying "Cannot join game because you are not friends with anybody in the game." So is there a solution to this? My cousin can join my game but I can't
    join his. We are friends in Xbox one and favorites each other.

    :)

    Have you friended him or just followed or favorited? If you've just favorited him then head over to his profile and add him as a friend.

    If you are friends then try holding the power button on the console for 10 seconds until it shuts down to see if that fixes the issue.

    Also, your gamertag is showing as Silver at the moment. You would need a Gold membership or have the main gamertag on the console share their Gold membership to your gamertag in order to play multiplayer games.

    I also have this issue. I can join into the game if I friend someone in the game, but next day it will start again. I ended up having 10 friends in that server and no one left to add, still saying no friends in that game. The host states I am not only one
    on his server with this issue.

    I have reset my xbox, deleted account then added it back, cleared networking cache, nothing has helped.

    How do I enable multiplayer

    Dear Temiloluwa Akinyemi

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.

    I would like to know what platform or game you are trying to add multiplayer to.

    Below you will find the usual settings for adding multiplayer to XBOX or Minecraft.

    To enable multiplayer in an Xbox game, follow these steps:

    Make sure you have an Xbox Live Gold subscription. Most multiplayer games on Xbox require an Xbox Live Gold subscription to play online with others.

    Start the game you want to play multiplayer in.

    Look for an option in the game's main menu or settings that allows you to select multiplayer mode or join an online game.

    If prompted, sign in to your Xbox Live account.

    Follow the on-screen instructions to join a multiplayer game or create a party with friends.

    Once you are in a multiplayer game, you can invite friends to join you or join a game with random players.

    Enjoy playing with others online in multiplayer mode.

    =======================================

    To enable multiplayer in Minecraft, follow these steps:

    Launch Minecraft on your Xbox console.

    Make sure you are signed in to your Xbox Live account.

    From the main menu, select "Play" and then choose the world you want to play in.

    Once in the world, press the Start button on your controller to open the in-game menu.

    Select "Invite to Game" to invite friends to join your world or select "Friends" to see a list of your friends who are currently online and invite them to join.

    You can also choose to join a friend's world by selecting "Join Friends" from the main menu.

    If you want to join a public multiplayer server, select "Servers" from the main menu and browse the list of available servers to join.

    Enjoy playing Minecraft with friends in multiplayer mode!

    Best wishes

    MINECRAFT - It just got a whole lot easy to play with randoms

    So I created my own mini game and within seconds, someone who is not my friend joins. It looks like Microsoft has torn down the social barrier. Because usually Minecraft on Xbox is not an open multiplayer lobby like Halo and Forza etc. Usually in order to
    play Minecraft multiplayer, you have to be friends with someone in the game for the game to let you join, and usually you have to be friends with the host especially if your account privacy settings are like strict or if your parents have made it that way,
    or if friends of friends is turned off.

    Minecraft problem

    Your friend needs to check if his account privacy and security allows for multiplayer gaming.
    it only happens on minecraft, he can play online on other games, and he can play online on minecraft but only when people join him, he can't join others

    Unable to Connect to World Minecraft Xbox One

  15. SparkleZonFire Win User

    Not possible to connect Minecraft to a server

    Are you sure your Xbox is online and not in offline mode?

    Also are you trying to join a friends game? Because you can only join games with people who you have added as friends. You can't just search for random worlds. If your looking for random ones you could always just search Google for Xbox one Minecraft servers
    and add people who have their worlds up.
