Are they both so big that any one room can only fit one?

Get them to look past their petty differences

Do you all happen to be on the same LAN? That could potentially cause problems

This is the common "Failed to Join"-issue which is when you can't connect to at least one of the players in the room because you can't connect to each other. You should both forward your ports properly (there are many guides on how to do this which are easy to find through a simple DuckDuckGo-search). If they can't successfully forward their ports, I suggest trying a VPN such as Windscribe which is free to use up to a limit. If none of this works, you can always try to use GameRanger or Voobly instead of connecting through ESO.
Pay more attention to detail.

But they can connect rest of the rooms without any problem

Problem occurs just when they are in the same room

Yes, it's a finicky problem. The solutions are still the same as what @Gendarme suggested.

kmesne, to clarify, in aoe3 you don't ftj a lobby instead one ftj's with someone else. It's not the lobby that's the problem but the connection between the two people who are not compatible

Somehow I thought this topic was going to be about how the OP is struggling getting his friend out of his room so that he can be alone with his other friend and was asking us for advice on how to make it happen.

Man, people can't do it for you. If you need help with some step, you're going to have to ask about something specific. No one has a magic easy solution that we've been hiding.

Did you try a VPN (Windscribe)? That's the "magic easy solution" if there is one, but doesn't seem to work for everyone.
