Troubleshoot a private link, closed roster, or unavailable game
Understand why reading a game and participating in it have different requirements.
For: All game viewers
Before you start: requirements and access
- The host’s current link or account invitation.
Steps
- Check that the full link was copied and ask the host whether the game is still available.
- For a private game, sign into the invited account and open the invitation. A private game does not become public because someone forwards a link.
- If the plan opens but RSVP is closed, read the lifecycle and roster message. Ask the organizer about reopening responses or your existing roster entry.
- If only some actions are unavailable, check your saved RSVP and identity. Going, Maybe, and Waitlisted can participate in chat; Pending and read-only link viewers cannot. Scoring has stricter rules.
