How can we help?
Most answers are below. If something is broken, send a report and we'll look at it.
Questions
Is Lobby really free?
Yes. Calls, messages, screen sharing and music in the call are free.
Why does Windows warn me during install?
Windows SmartScreen warns about programs it hasn't seen often yet. Press More info → Run anyway. The warning will go away as more people install Lobby.
How do I add a friend?
Type their name in the search at the top left of the app and send a request. When they accept, they appear in your friends list.
How does music in the call work?
Pick a track from Audius or a file on your PC. You can listen alone or offer it to the call. Each friend sees the offer and chooses Listen together or Not now, so nobody gets music forced on them.
Why does the login screen change?
The pixel scene follows your local time and season: stars at night, sun during the day, snow in winter.
Will Lobby slow down my game?
It is written in Rust and built to stay light in the background. If you notice lag, send a report with your PC specs.
Is there a Mac, Linux or phone version?
Not yet. Windows comes first, the browser version is next.
Why do you ask for my date of birth?
Lobby is for people aged 13 and older, and your date of birth is only used to check that. Your friends never see it. Only you do.
