Steps
Add the PlayFab Party SDK for your target platform (the Unified SDK v2 is recommended for new projects over legacy v1 SDKs)
Create a network and local endpoints, then invite remote endpoints to join for peer networking or voice
Enable chat controls (mute, chat indicators) using Party's chat APIs alongside the networking layer
Avoid the XDK and Windows 7 targets for new work -- those platform SDKs stopped receiving updates after August 2023, though the backend service itself still operates
Monitor PlayFab's release notes for Party since it continues to receive active updates (e.g., mobile background/interruption handling)
Known gotchas
The PlayFab Party C++ SDK for Xbox One XDK is deprecated and unmaintained -- existing XDK/Win7 titles keep working against the live service, but should not be the basis for new integrations
Party networking and voice are bundled in the same SDK, so a voice-only integration still pulls in the full networking stack
