Every-time I try to play on my friends Minecraft realm it doesn't let me join and says I need to authenticate Microsoft services. I have tried everything. Please help me.

If you are playing through Windows, click on Start Menu > Settings > Time & language > Date & time.
See if the Set time automatically option is enabled, if it is, disable it and change it to a different date and then activate it again. If the option is off, just turn it on.
Open the game and see if the problem persists.
