How To Join Xbox Live Parties
First of all, you'll need an Xbox Live membership.
Then you'll have to be online, find out how to do that here.
From that point, you can either ask a friend to invite you to a party.
A notification will pop up, just hold the Xbox button down till you join.
Otherwise, you can start a party yourself.
Press the Xbox button on your controller, either use the bumpers or analog stick to move about the menu.
Head to the friends tab, pick a friend and select them.
Then press invite to party or join party.
