PS4 and PC "unable to connect to world" in Minecraft

So, me and a friend download Minecraft (bedrock) so we could play together in quarantine. He plays on a PS4 and I on PC.

We have added eachother as friends with our microsoft accounts and when one of us creates a server in Minecraft we are both able to find the server.

However when one of us tries to connect to the other ones server we get "connecting to world" and then "unable to connect to world".

I know this is a known issue but we haven't found a solution for us yet, so feel free to reply with any suggestions.

Please help. Microsoft help center is even closed during the weekend.

Update: I shared my mobile internet, we both connected to it and suddenly we were able to connect to eachothers servers. The NAT is still type 2 (Moderate). 

Hi Froskn,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your issue. Sounds like the cross play is not enabled in settings, were you able to look at the privacy and online settings? We will give you the steps to change the exact ones for the cross platform use.   
 
 

  1. You will go to the Xbox websiteand sign in.  
       

  2. Once signed in, click your picture top right corner go to Xbox profile.  
       

  3. Click on privacy settings.  
       

  4. Once in settings, under the picture see Privacy, Xbox One/Windows 10 online safety. Select the Xbox one/Windows 10 online safety.  
       

  5.  You will see you gamertag you are looking for one setting:  
       

  6. The two you want to make sure say allow and everybody are:    

    1. "you can play with people outside of Xbox live" set to allow   
        

    2. Now click on privacy you are looking for one setting:  
      "you can communicate outside of Xbox live with voice and text" set to allow   
         

Hope this helps. 

Brad
