The Xbox app on Windows 10 allows you to chat with your friends while playing games. By default, it supports the official Xbox one headset provided by Microsoft. If you use the app regularly to play games online, then you may have seen this error saying that “Your networking settings are blocking party chat“.
If that error comes up although you can play games online but the chatting functionality gets disabled automatically. Fixing this problem is easy, though.
