# Host Mode

{% hint style="info" %}
Use the Host Mode to be able to Kick/Mute participants in a Multiplayer Experience
{% endhint %}

In host mode, you can check the list of viewers who are with you in the same deployment, mute them or kick them out of the room, if needed.

{% hint style="info" %}
The "Host" needs a passcode to enter the metaverse deployment.
{% endhint %}

Copy the passcode you find in the "Collaboration" section.

#### Kick Players

As a host, you have the authority to remove players from all instances of a scene. This action can be useful to maintain order, enforce rules, or address disruptive behavior. When a player is kicked, they will be immediately ejected from the experience and their experience turned into non-collaborative. Please note that kicking a player is a forceful action and should be used judiciously.

To kick a player:

1. Access the host controls panel from the top-left on the deployment link.
2. Identify the player you wish to kick, by their identifier.
3. Click on the "Remove" icon
4. The player will be promptly removed from the experience.

#### Mute Players

In certain situations, hosts may need to temporarily silence or mute specific players to minimize disturbances or prevent unwanted audio interruptions. Muting players can help maintain the quality of communication within the metaverse.

To mute a player:

1. Access the host controls panel from the top-left on the deployment link.
2. Locate the player you want to mute.
3. Click on the "Mute" icon
4. The player's audio will be muted.
