Managing Players

As the Game Master (GM) running a game on Orb, you control who's in it. Adding a player confirms their booking and gives them access to the Game Room, the dedicated chat space for your table. Removing a player revokes that access immediately and frees up their seat.

Adding a player​

Players can only be added from the booking chat. Once you've chatted with a player about booking, the conversation shows the game context in the topic bar, confirm their seat directly from there without leaving the chat.

Managing current players​

Once a player is added, you can view your roster and remove anyone from:

  • Game detail page — open your game's public page and use the action menu.
  • Game Room — the Game Room header has a player management option for the GM.
  • Game card menu — the owner menu on your game card includes a Manage Players option.

Removing a player takes effect immediately: they lose access to the Game Room, and their seat becomes available for someone else to book.

Seat capacity​

The maximum number of players is set when you create your game and can be updated at any time from the edit page.
