Public vs Private

Understand the difference between public and private sessions and when to use each.

Private Sessions

Private sessions are invitation-only and don't appear in public searches.

💡 Tips & Best Practices:

  • •Only visible to invited players
  • •Not searchable or discoverable
  • •Perfect for skill-matched play
