# Server Lobby

The Server Lobby is the menu for the individual server after you have chosen to connect to one via the Server Hub. From here you can join the round (if in progress) or spectate it.

It also serves several other purposes:

1. Provides server information/images custom to each server.

2. Includes a lobby chat to talk in OOC with the other people in the server.\

3. Provides a list of players and possibly occupied roles.

4. Allows changing the game settings (video, audio, UI, etc.. as in [#in-game-settings](#in-game-settings "mention")):

5. Allows editing/saving character presets at any point prior to embarking.\

6. Grants server settings to admins so they change aspects of the round and start/stop rounds.\

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ss3d.gitbook.io/design/basic-game-mechanics/user-interface/server-lobby.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
