If I understand it correctly, you are talking about using PlayFab Matchmaking to find a list of players to play with, and using PlayFab Party as chat and data communication solution in game, is that correct? In that case, we have such scenario example described in this doc, please take a look: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/playfab/features/multiplayer/networking/concepts-discovery#matchmaking. The key part of this solution is the out-of-band communication medium implemented by yourself that’s responsible of sending the network descriptor and the initial invitation identifier to other matched users so that they can connect to the network created by the host user.

Seriously I have no clue how you guys build a networking system called "Party" and have no way of actually making a party without running our own third party servers. Unbelievable @Citrus Yan!!
