how can I invite other teachers to join my world?[Solved]
I want to have pre-training sessions with other teachers before trying Minecraft Edu in our lessons. But other teachers can't join my world with the joining code and even with my IP address.
1. I set the port forwarding by following the guide page - put 19132- 19133 & 25565 as external ports in both TCP & UDP.
2. I disabled the 3rd party program (avast) in my personal computer before logging in to the Minecraft world and sharing the joining code.
3. My IP address is a static one.
-----------------------------------------------
So I think I followed basic instructions to invite other teachers to my world, but it still doesn't work... I guess there are some potential problems that might cause this connection error as below
1) I host the world in my home, but teachers try to join my world using their school computers in their classrooms... and since they're working at different schools, they might have Office 365 accounts that are not in the same tenant, and maybe that might cause this problem??=> If so, what can I do????
2) Do other teachers also need to change some settings of their internet connection as I did to host my world?? But they don't try to HOST a world but just to JOIN my world.....
I really want to do some PD sessions with other teachers in the Minecraft edu world.. I really appreciate if I could have any advice on my problems..!!!
Thank you!

1. Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, if the teachers use a different tenant, you won't be able to join the same world. One work around could be asking your Microsoft Admin to make accounts for the other teachers without assigning an Office 365 license to them (so there's no extra cost). Then you'd send the accounts and temporary passwords to the teachers before the PD session.
2. Generally, if they are using their own home network or school network, there shouldn't be any problem. To be safe though, maybe send the official multiplayer guide in advance and ask them to test it before the PD session - https://education.minecraft.net/wp-content/uploads/Minecraft-Education-Edition-Multiplayer-Guide-1.pdf
I hope this helps :)
