We are having the same problem. Students trying to work together on an assignment, the person trying to join receives the same "Unable to Connect" pop-up. From the teacher's point of view, it is very frustrating. It is hard to encourage the collaboration portion, when they are unable to work together.

We understand that connection issues have caused frustration. Our multiplayer experience was designed for in-classroom connections on the same network. With a majority of students at home, we are now working hard to understand the different factors that can block students from connecting through home networks.
Multiplayer across different internet connections is possible as long as the criteria in this article is met. Keep in mind that every network is different, so it's possible that some players may not be able to join a multiplayer session from their respective networks due to distinct configuration settings.
Troubleshooting:
- Close out of the game and restart the application. Have joining/hosting a world be the first thing you do after launch and login. Once users have played their own world they must restart to join a multiplayer world
- Try a new world. NOT one that has been previously saved
- Restart your computer
