Is it possible to play Minecraft on Switch with other consoles?

Yes, that is possible. You can play with Xbox, PlayStation, Pc (Win 10) and smartphone players together.

There should be enough tutorials on YouTube.

About yes. Minecraft Bedrock is cross play capable on almost all primary consoles *: Nintendo Switch, Xbox One / Series, PlayStation 4/5, Android (Google / Amazon Kindle Fire), IOS, and Windows 10.

Remember that almost all of the systems mentioned have a legacy edition. Legacy editions are called, for example, "Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition", "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" and so on.

The following versions are not cross-play with the Bedrock: "Minecraft [Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Wii U] Edition", Minecraft Java Edition, Minecraft PI Edition, and Minecraft Bedrock on all other platforms not mentioned above *.

So pay attention to which Minecraft you or your friend have on the respective console, since the parallel runs, so the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Windows 10 also have at least 2 different Minecraft games on PC. If you want to recognize the difference quickly: minecraft Bedrock on consoles, smartphones and PC ONLY have the title Minecraft on the game cover (digital as well as on disc) and nothing more.

More notes to ask for your friends and others. Net users could be helpful:

Minecraft Bedrock also supports VR on the Playstation 4.

Minecraft Bedrock also has offline cross play, i.e. Over a simple LAN or WLAN connection. The device that sends Wi-Fi (smartphone or Wi-Fi router) or a multiple LAN device (Wi-Fi router or LAN switch) does not require an Internet connection.

Another advantage is that you don't even have to take out an online subscription (Playstation Plus, Xbox Live Gold / Game pass Ultimate, Nintendo Online) if you don't have one yet. Since the game runs offline, a subscription is not necessary.

In the case of Wi-Fi multiplayer, the PS4 must be briefly connected to an Internet-enabled Wi-Fi router / smartphone. If the PS4 has saved the network, you can disconnect the router / smartphone from the Internet, or connect the PS4 to the router / hotspot which has no Internet. - Remember that both devices with and without Internet have the same Wi-Fi name and password.
