My friend has a Minecraft Bedrock world which we played together. He exported it and I imported it, but I spawn as him. Can I somehow play as my character from our multiplayer sessions in that world?

A dedicated server is need.

Download dedicated server here: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock/

Unzip and run bedrock_server.exe for a few seconds to generate the default world. Open server.properties and set online-mode=false ( https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/support/minecraft-bedrock-support/2983414-authenticate-to-microsoft-services ).

Go into ./worlds/Bedrock level delete the content and past in you world.
