How do I activate Xbox don't starve together local coop

My husband and I bought don't starve together specifically to play together in local coop mode.
All the posts I've read on this say that to enter coop mode, we must do the following: - both players sign in before opening the game - player 1 opens the game at the main menu - second player presses 'start' at the main menu
However... This does nothing for us...! HELP!
THANK YOU!
