# Lobby

The **Lobby** is the main scene and component in the multiplayer mode. In there you can add characters, maps, and set other parameters.

To create a lobby manager click <mark style="color:orange;">**(Game Object -> USK -> Lobby Manager)**</mark>.

### Characters

Add all characters you need to the appropriate section. And players can choose one of them during the game.

To prepare characters for multiplayer, see the section below.

{% endcontent-ref %}

### **Maps**

Prepare your maps for multiplayer (see the **Levels** section), and indicate them in the Maps section.

{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Before you build a game, make sure that **all scenes** (including the Lobby) are in the **Build Settings**.
{% endhint %}

### Other Parameters

#### Server & Check Internet Connection

If the <mark style="color:green;">**Check Internet Connection**</mark> bool is active, the **Lobby** **Manager** will first check if there is an internet connection, and then connect to the Photon server.&#x20;

To check the connection, the script uses the <mark style="color:green;">**Server**</mark> value (best to write big sites there - google, unity, etc)&#x20;

This solution is good for Desktop and Mobile builds because in this case, players will see a notification if they have no network connection.

But you don't need to use it for the **WebGL** build, so in this case, **disable the bool**.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
If in the game lobby you see **No Internet Connection** status but you're sure that your device has the connection, just change the **Server**.
