Why can't I join my friend on Minecraft Bedrock Edition?
I am playing on mobile (phone) and my friend is playing on a Switch. We both have Minecraft Bedrock Edition, Xbox Live accounts, and added each other on all of these things, but neither of our worlds will show up for either of us even if we invite each other.
We also have the same version of the game, what can we do? Thanks for any help!
Best Answer
If your friend has Nintendo Switch Online, one of you should host the game and join through an IP adress. Be wary, not every network allows that. The only way to easily join the other player through Xbox is if they're hosting a Realm.
If your friend doesn't have Nintendo Switch Online he can't play online games. Unfortunately it's paid.

You must be connected to the same network to play together, unless you use a third-party app. There's a third-party app called Multiplayer for Minecraft PE that allows you to host a server and connect to other networks.Why can I not join my friend in Minecraft?
Check Friendship Status: On your PC, both your friend and you need to go to Xbox.com and send each other a 360 friend friend request. You can also try removing each other as friends on your Xbox One and adding each other back again. Relaunch Game: Both players (including host) will need to fully quit the game.Liz Phair - Why Can't I? (Official Video)

Ask your friend if he has Nintendo Switch Online, as that is the only way to play cross platform on the Nintendo Switch.

This may be happening because your friend doesn’t have Nintendo Online Play. If he does however the try restarting Minecraft or ask your friend to restart his Nintendo.
