Minecraft EE - Unable to connect to world
I've recently installed the update in the Mac computer lab in my school.
Last year I used Minecraft EE quite frequently for class projects in my computer programming class. I had some serious issues connecting students to a World I would host at the beginning of the year, but was able to open specific ports through the Admin account, which eventually allowed students to connect to me/each other.
However, I've recently updated the entire lab with the new release/update of Minecraft EE.
Unfortunately, the problem is back and students are no longer able to connect to any world I host.
When they try to "Join World" they place the four icon "Join Code" that is displayed when "Start Hosting" a world.
When a student uses the "Join Code" they are asked if they would like to join my world (my username and world name are both displayed correctly, so I know that a connection has occurred). When they choose to join, after a few seconds the screen always displays as "Unable to Connect to World".
I should also mention that my students and I are connecting through our Office 365 accounts (although the students have a different domain compared to me).
Any help would greatly be appreciated in how to overcome this obstacle, as many of the lessons I have planned to use are based around Minecraft themes in the class.
Thank you!

Hello Mason,
Thanks for posting.It could be due to a few reasons:
- Port 19132 needs to be re-opened. The update is now being recognized as a new app
- Your accounts are on different tenants
Please submit a request if the issue is persisting.

Our schools rolled out 1 to 1 devices just a couple of months before Covid hit. It was during the Spring that I started taking Microsoft classes and earning badges and how I found M EE. However, I was only able to ever get a few students into the classroom edition.
This year school is completely different online all the time and I tried it out in each of my classes one day - The students who were able to sign on loved it but I could only get a few students in each class to sign on and I need help. I went to my district IT department this summer and they said that M EE wasn't blocked but they had to download the app from their 1 to 1 devices ( from the Microsoft store edition) and I thought that would resolve it - some are able to sign-in / some can sign-in to the game but not to classroom mode/
some aren't able to download ;{ I have reached out to my district but have gotten little to no response back and the students keep asking when are we doing M EE again. I keep telling them I need to get us some resources and I need a mentor to help get everyone in. So if you are a mentor and want to help a high school art teach and her three classes get online - HERE we are (about 110 students). If you have any specific resources because I have been around the entire site several times and get lost real easy or go a loop de loop of Ive been here before.
I would sure appreciate some assistance in how to get my classes connected to classroom mode and building - Thank you.
