    So, with your network not letting your friend in it may be due to the network settings you have in place. Please Follow these instructions with allowing communication with the Minecraft Education servers. How to connect to Multiplayer games from different networks – Minecraft: Education Edition Support You will need to port forward, add URLs to the allow list, and check your antivirus software.

    Hey there!

    Sorry to hear you are running into some issues hosting.

    Just had a few questions to help us support you further:

    1.) What device make / model and OS version are you on when you got this error?

    2.) Are you on the latest version of Minecraft Education?

    3.) Is this a home network or school network?

    4.) Is this a commercial account or school managed account?

    5.) What error messages do you get?

    1.) What device make / model and OS version are you on when you got this error?

    it's macOS Ventura version 13.0. MacBook Pro 14-inch (it works with my different devices but whenever I join with this device, it just says unable to connect to the server)

    2.) Are you on the latest version of Minecraft Education?

    yes. 1.21.03 (i even redownloaded it last night but still didn't work)

    3.) Is this a home network or school network?

    I tried with both but none of them worked. (my friends can play with both school wifi and their home wifi)

    4.) Is this a commercial account or school managed account?

    its school is a managed account.

    5.) What error messages do you get?

    it says "Unable to connect to world" 

     

    the problem was that whenever I joined my friend's World(server) it kept on saying "unable to connect to world" and won't let me connect to the world. But my friends can join my world so easily.

    i really want to fix this.

    Hey there!

    Sorry to hear you are running into some issues as well Caiden! Same questions to you as above if you get a chance :)

    Also, Hyeji sorry we didn't get back to you! Somehow that message may have passed us.

    Any progress since? Since its school managed, were you able to reach out to your IT admin at all?

    3.) Is this a home network or school network?

    School network

    4.) Is this a commercial account or school managed account?

    When I'm on my phone or the school computers I am able to join friends normally and they can join me. It's just my mac that can't join friends and I'm using the same account for all.

    Mac & unable to join worlds sounds like a keychain error to me. Please let me know how things go after going through the keychain steps listed in the thread!
