"unable to connect to world"
I downloaded Minecraft Education Edition and directed students I teach to do the same. I was trying to have students play together remotely and we are experiencing difficulties joining each others worlds.
Example:
- I played with a student yesterday to test, it worked. Today it did not. He hosted, I hosted, would not work.
- This evening I organised a group of about 5 to play, 3 could enter world together, 2 could not including myself.
All are on recently downloaded version. All used their Office 365 account to log in.
Can I have some directions on how to make this a viable learning tool?
What could the block be?

I play on my personal laptop but I use the school wifi to play with friends I have reset my laptop, and did everything yet I cant join them nor can they join me when I host
Any fixes for this?

you have to be on same network (internet) to be able to play

Actually if you host from a network with static IP address and make a rule for port forwarding it's possible to host from another network. (I have done this during lockdown)

I was able to fix this issue by having my students re-download Minecraft Education Edition and verified we were all on the same version. Host was on v1.18.32 and the students were on v1.17. Joining host machine worked once everyone was updated to 1.18.32

Our team have managed to find a solution. At first, we realised it was only students with a BYOD mac that were having troubles.
Our Infrastructure team dove into it and found that old cached credentials inside keychain are the cause.
Open keychain access, then toggle "hidden items" from the view tab.1. Quit Minecraft Edu
2. Search for entries with the name "PF_Account_6955F" and "PF_Account_6955F_Key". Delete these.
3. Finally, search for one more entry named "AD_EDU_USER_HINT" and delete it. Retry joining a world. You may be prompted to login again though.Hopefully this helps another ICT wizard out there
