If you want to team up with friends you will need to play locally.

The news was first reported by **NWR** and **GameXplain** has checked it with with Nintendo of America who confirmed to them that this is indeed the case.

> This is true. As the game is now, you cannot create friend lobbies online. You can only play online with randoms. You can still get friends together and play with local play, and you’re free to play with four players on one Nintendo Switch system. You can also still challenge your friends to your creations and take on their designs through Course IDs and having them follow your Maker profile.

Ohh Nintendo … please let some other parties help you with what you want do online. So much is being missed by you on that front.
