# NetworkLobbyManager
\*\*Please see the Lobby example in the Examples folder in your Mirror folder
The Network Lobby Manager is a specialized type of [Network Manager](NetworkManager) that provides a multiplayer lobby before entering the main play scene of the game. It allows you to set up a network with:
- A maximum player limit
- Automatic start when all players are ready
- Option to prevent players from joining a game in progress
- Customizable ways for players to choose options while in lobby  
There are two types of player objects with the Network Lobby Manager:
**Lobby Player Prefab**
- One for each player
- Created when client connects, or player is added
- Persists until client disconnects
- Holds ready flag and configuration data
- Handles commands in the lobby
- Must use the [Network Lobby Player](NetworkLobbyPlayer) component
**Player Prefab**
- One for each player
- Created when game scene is started
- Destroyed when leaving game scene
- Handles commands in the game
