Hey, so people are struggling to join friends worlds. This only affects Bedrock, Not Beta, but the issue is that people can't join their friends world, it saids "Connection Timed Out", even if they change platforms. It's not their Wi-Fi or the platform, it's Minecraft. Some people can join, alot of people can't. Please fix this, it will be much good!

I just had this happen earlier today. Never had problems joining my friend's game, only after the latest 1.20.12 update. At first, I had no problems joining their game, then I exited their game to take care of something and when I came back and tried to join it would time out. My friend and I both tried resetting our games and restarting our devices but it still wouldn't connect.
I tested if they could join MY world and they could, so after, they exited and started their world and I tried to join and still couldn't. They sent invites, I tried joining with Xbox game bar, in-game, but nothing worked. After about an hour of troubleshooting it finally just connected. Later during our play session, I accidentally clicked my taskbar and it minimized Minecraft so I got disconnected and the same "Connection timed out" but this time only for about 10 minutes.
This is strange and I can't find any information online, hopefully someone could shed some light on this strange occurrence.
