Minecraft – Why can’t I connect to LAN game in Minecraft Bedrock

minecraft-bedrock-edition

I'm running Minecraft Bedrock on Android and am trying to join a game running on an XBox One on the LAN.

When I click on "Play" and then the "Friends" tab I see the other person under "LAN Games" and it says "1/8" with a green circle. But when I click on it, I get the message:

Wow this server is popular! Check back later to see if space opens up.

When I click on Ok, it says something about generating world, but then goes back to the previous screen where I first tried to join at.

There is plenty of space! Why can't I connect?

Check the port in server.properties. I set mine to 25565 for some external testing and noticed that I got this message afterwards. I changed it back to 19132 and haven't had an issue since.
