Questions

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.

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 Lobby in English?

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

How many people fit in a group?

Up to 12 people in one group chat.

Does the mini window work in every game?

The mini window shows who is speaking, what is playing and clutch on top of your game. It works with games that run in borderless window mode.

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.
