I can't play Multiplayer on Minecraft Switch Edition

So, as I am playing Minecraft on my Nintendo Switch, there was one thing I wanted to try and that was multiplayer, but as most people, it said "You cannot play online multiplayer because of how my account is set up. " I tried to solve it on my PC, iPhone, and Amazon Tablet, but I couldn't find the solution. I even went on your website and looked up "aka.ms/accountsettings, but I couldn't find it there either.  Can there be a solution to this?

Hi Kirk,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your issue. We understand unable to join multiplayer due to account settings. There are two that you need to allow on the Xbox profile side under Xbox live privacy go to communication and multiplayer, Select allow or everybody on "you can play with people outside Xbox live, and You can communicate outside of Xbox live with voice and text. Also make sure you have a Nintendo Switch online subscription.

Thanks,

Brad

Stay safe have fun. GAME HARD just not too hard :) ಠ益ಠ
