I couldn’t join my friends world

They were online and in a world but I can still not join 12 later after the first time

Hi, Celeste Fox..

This situation happened because how bedrock online multiplayer world works.

The player hosting the game must be online and actively running a world with permissions set to allow multiplayer games.

You may encounter problems connecting to multiplayer games if all players aren’t playing the most recent version of Minecraft. Check the settings on your game platform to make sure you’re receiving automatic updates.

And it looks like you were playing on Minecraft console..

Check subscription status: If you are playing Minecraft multiplayer on a console, you must be subscribed to either Xbox Game Pass Core, Nintendo Switch Online, or PlayStation Plus to be able to play with friends.

Thank you, for sending us your issue.. Hope you ha

We were all on the same version I have Nintendo Switch Online and my friend’s friend could join.

I have the same problem, the Nintendo switch most of the time can’t log in to Microsoft account and if we’re lucky enough to do that, we can’t connect to the worlds. This includes the movie event.
