# Pin Code Multiplayer Overrides

These settings let the author override a learner's multiplayer choices. They are in **Experience Settings**, on the **Simulation Control** tab.

![The Pin Code Multiplayer Overrides section in Experience Settings, with Player Mode, Override Player Mode, Room Size and Override Room Size.](https://2704613365-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxYaaXoZ4YGbVdAnAhdcE%2Fuploads%2FLqtgEPG0LXuwjk6pXREc%2Fpincode%20multi%20overide.png?alt=media\&token=eb79aed7-0ff6-4459-86d6-f16e725a6eb5)

They take effect only when both of these are true:

* The simulation was launched from a [Playlist](/hyperskill-studio-authoring/publish/playlist.md).
* The learner chose multiplayer in the lobby.

When they apply, the author's values replace the learner's lobby choices.

* **Override Player Mode:** Turn on to force the player mode, whatever the learner picked.
* **Player Mode:** The mode to force, either Participant or Spectator.
* **Override Room Size:** Turn on to force the maximum number of players.
* **Room Size:** The maximum number of players, from 1 to 255.
