The top of the Lobby app window: friends list and a call shown as a pixel scene

We love gamers

So we kept the layout you already know and made it ours: friends on the left, the conversation on the right, and every call turns into a small pixel world.

Try now
The whole Lobby window (interface in Russian): friends and chats on the left, a call with Kristjan as a pixel scene and the conversation on the right

Text, speak,
show, listen

Four things you do with friends in the evening. Lobby keeps all of them in one window, so you don't jump between apps while the match is loading.

Text

Direct messages and group chats for your squad. Next to every name you see what your friend is doing right now.

  • Friends and DMs on the left, the chat on the right
  • Live statuses: in a call, playing CS2, listening to music
  • Group chats for up to 12 people
  • KristjanIn a call with you
  • LisaPlaying CS2
  • DenListening to music
  • Night shiftGroup chat, 5 people

Yes, finishing dinner. Join the call, I'll be there.

Lisa

Save me a spot, I'm in.

Speak

Voice and video made for games. Lobby has its own voice engine and its own relay server, built to keep the delay low.

  • Native voice engine written in Rust
  • Video calls with your camera
  • Mini window over your game: who is speaking, what is playing, and clutch, one button for 15 seconds of silence. Works with games in borderless window mode

Invite to call
The call becomes a party

Show

Share your screen or just the game window. Friends watch it inside the call, without opening anything else.

  • Whole screen or one window, you choose what is visible
  • Up to 1080p at 60 fps, free
  • Everyone in the call can watch at once

Listen

Music right inside the call. Play a track only for yourself, or offer it to the call: each friend accepts or declines, so nobody gets music they didn't ask for.

  • Fresh phonk, house and more from Audius
  • Your own files straight from your PC

The sky follows your clock

When you log in, Lobby greets you with a pixel scene that matches your local time: stars at night, sunrise in the morning, snow in winter. Drag the slider to walk through a whole day.

Light enough to stay open while you play

Lobby sits in the background during every match, so it has to be small, quick and quiet.

Questions

The short answers. More in Support.

All questions and contact
Is Lobby really free?

Yes. Voice and video 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.

Where does the music come from?

From Audius, a free music platform with fresh phonk, house and other genres, and from music files on your own computer. Whoever starts a track can keep it to themselves or offer it to the call.

Will it slow down my game?

Lobby is written in Rust and built to stay light in the background. If you notice lag, tell us in Report and attach your PC specs.

Is Lobby in English?

Not yet. For now the app's interface is only in Russian.

Can I use Lobby without installing it?

Not yet. The browser version is in the works. Until then, Lobby runs as a Windows app.
