Xbox One Party Chat Broken?

Maj Madness · Nov 4, 2015

Is the Party Chat system broken on the Xbox One? Frequently I can't start a party, or join a party, nor can my friends join a party that I start. Sometimes I get error messages, other times I get a message that I don't have that particular app when I do,
and other times the icon just goes round and round without ever doing anything. I can join friends in games, and play multiplayer without issue, it's just party's that has this issue. Sometimes turning the console off and then back on will fix it, though
sometimes it doesn't, or it'll drop after 10-15 minutes.

Using a netgear router, NAT is open, UPnP is on, ISP Centurylink, and using a wired connection. Oh, and I've never been the subject of a PET action, figured I'd better throw that in, since that seems to be a common issue as per my Google searches. Any
help would be appreciated thanks.

Party Chat Not Working

Hey all,

Just signed up as I got my xbox one today. Loving it so far.

However has anyone figured Party chat yet? I can start a party and join the chat, but no one else in that party can.

additionally if i join a party I'm unable to join the chat and get the message "Party chat cannot be started at this time"

Any Ideas?

its got me absolutely stumped

They're so worried about pushing this *** dashboard update I think they've put all other issues to the side until after that launch, this issue along with the being banned and unable to talk issue have been going on for at least a month for most people.
Microsoft has yet to come forth with and useful information or solutions, its both annoying and disappointing.

Alright, thanks. I've been digging through all my settings, checking MTU etc. Can't find anything wrong on my end, the whole thing is leaving a bad taste for me. Thanks again.

The party chat has been broken since day one. I'm not able to get party chat to work until at least 3 tries of console resets each time. All the settings are correct, followed the guides and tips, and it's been over a year yet the party chat remains in the
same broken state it's been in since day one. Give up, Microsoft is never going to fix anything.

It's quite strange how the evolution of Xbox Live has become more insular with the advent of party chat. Back in the days of Beta and Xbox One, people had no choice but to chat to each other and take the insults as they come (they were few and far between).
I'm no fan of party chat but it's not like Battlefield makes chat easy... their system is broken in game as well.

Do you mean in game chat or party chat? If you mean party chat then its probably just party chat being broken as usual. My advice make a skype account for both of you and use that because my buddy and I find its the only reliable voice communications on
the One.

After doing some google searches, I have noticed people saying opening up ports 88 and 3074 provide a fix, you can also check in the settings to see if your NAT is open.
