I was playing Minecraft with 2 friends (they were in the same nSwitch, using 4 Joy-Con).
My skin was loaded, but their skins wasn't loading. They appared with the default skin (Steve).
Also, they tried to change their skins, but nothing happened. It only notified me that they have been changed their skins.
