Windows How do we play cross-platform with my friends?

We're trying to play together, but none of us are showing up on the server lists. At one point, my friend playing on PC even got an "EOS server" error; what should we do?
 
To add to what Riamus said, I assume you're attempting to find a peer game so make sure you're searching for their username in the peer2peer tab and that you've selected the correct region. Double check that your clocks are synced to internet time too.
 
Also, the better system should always be hosting the game. Wired connection is best. Using wi-fi? "Well, good luck, you're gonna need it!"

You don't provide much information. All anyone could do is guess.

For crossplay to work, the host needs to be hosting a game that does not use mods. It needs to use only settings that are compatible with console (some settings are PC only). It needs to be a map size that is allowed on console. Also take note of the following:

We've tried everything, but it still doesn't work; I haven't tried connecting via IP because there's nowhere in the game that displays the IP address.

I'm trying to set up my own server to play with friends. One person is playing on Xbox, while the other two and I are playing via the Xbox app on PC.

Then drop the most recent logfile of your server to a text-sharing site and post the link here.

Or, as an alternative, post your problem here, it is the professional help desk for 7D2D: https://7-days-to-die.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new . Best to submit the logfile as attachement to them too, otherwise they'll probably ask for it later anyway

As a side note: Every 10th player coming here looking for help says "We've tried everything" and it is possibly the most errneous statement they can make. And it gives no information at all what steps have been actually taken

Where can I find the log file?
 
They are usually in C:\Users\[your_username]\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\Logs\ but you can easily find them by opening the game and pressing F1, even at the main menu. There is a button to open your log folder from there.
İs it these?

(Or host logs if P2P, which I think is what you're doing).

As a side note, if you're doing P2P, have you tried to invite the other players instead of using the server listing? I don't know how that works with the Windows version of the XBox app or for consoles, but with Steam, I can easily invite anyone on my friends list from inside the game by clicking ESC. This bypasses any need to use the server list and is far easier, imo. But I don't know if you can do that when not using Steam.
