How to play local coop using Remote Play Together?

[Boo Seta]

I own the game and I'm playing with a xbox controller. I want to play with a friend who doesn't own the game. Here is what I'm doing:

1. Open the game,
2. Press some buttons on my xbox controller, so the game knows I'm using a controller,
3. Invite my friend via Remote Play Together,
4. He successfully joins,
5. I create a local coop game,
6. We get stuck in the character screen asking for him to press A to join.

My friend also has a xbox controller, he press A, but he isn't able to join. We get stuck. Why isn't it working? Could someone help, please?

Use another game that remote play works, for example:
1. Open Castle Crashers, invite ur friend to remote play
2. See if its work.
3. Open BBT.
4. Close Castle Crashers.
5. Invite ur friend to remote play in BBT

you don't have to use castle crashers, use any game where remote play works

I had the same issue and, for the next people who comes in this page, this is how I could fix it:

I tested remote play on Rogue Glitch (It's a free game, you can try on any game as Godlyvexx said).

After doing so, I opened BatlleBlock Theater using my phone as controller, then I invited my friend. After he joined with his controller, we went to player settings, I disconnected my phone so he could control my character, and then I created a new character for him. Then, I disconnected him and went to local coop, invited him again, and he could create and control the new character.

From what I understood:
Controller person has to be player 1. If keyboard person wants to be player 1 instead, from main menu, go to player settings, Keyboard person makes a new character and then disconnects controller person.
Go to local coop and invite them again and it should be fixed as the controller person joins.

CONTROLLER PERSON HAS TO BE ON INPUT 1.

If this doesn't help, keep trying. It can take a while to finally work :')
