How to Invite Friends in Warzone 2
If you're having problems inviting friends to Warzone 2, you're not alone. There's currently a workaround you can try to use to start being able to add all your friends again at the moment, but it won't guarantee that everything will begin working as usual. It's still worth a try, though. According to Redditor Netoxicky, you can invite friends to a group. Here's how to go about finishing the process.
1. Find the Channels button, which is located in the top right of the main menu in Call of Duty Warzone 2 menu. It will look like a pair of headphones.
2. You'll be met with a channel that already exists. You can join it, so find the "invite to channel" option and select it.
3. View the friend list that pops up after choosing "invite to channel". Find the friend you'd like to invite to your party.
4. Your friend should be able to accept your party invite and join your game.
If this doesn't work, you might need to exit your game, then enter again. Do this until you're able to get the invite functionality to work, or at least the workaround. If all else fails, you might just need to wait a while until this error is resolved. Given that the new version of Warzone just launched, it'll need some time until the bugs are ironed out, as is usually the case.
Warzone 2 is currently available to play for free on Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and PC.
