A workaround is to not use fullscreen when acting as a multiplayer host. The game suspends when in fullscreen and you switch windows but does not when the game is running in Windowed mode. An alternative is also to run a Bedrock Dedicated Server as its designed to stay running but is a little more complex to set up.
