# Advanced Settings Once you've finished the initial setup, there are some settings we recommend to help you organize and improve your InHouses effectively. *** ## Force IGN If you're playing one of the [preset game modes](https://docs.inhousequeue.xyz/docs/preset-games), we highly recommend enabling this feature. Once enabled, Players won’t be able to queue until they set their IGN using [`/ign`](https://docs.inhousequeue.xyz/docs/commands/queue-commands#bulb-sign-up-with-your-ign). To turn this on, run `/require_ign`. InHouseQueue integrates with the following player profile websites: * **League of Legends:** [OP.GG](https://www.op.gg) * **Valorant:** [OP.GG](https://www.op.gg) * **Dota 2:** [Dotabuff](https://www.dotabuff.com) * **Crossfire:** [Crossfire](https://crossfire.z8games.com) * **Pokemon Unite:** [Unite API](https://uniteapi.dev) Players can enter their in-game name (or Steam ID) into the [`/ign`](https://docs.inhousequeue.xyz/docs/commands/queue-commands#bulb-sign-up-with-your-ign) command. This will generate profile links for all players at the start of each game, allowing for scouting and strategizing before gameplay begins. This feature is perfect for servers with a competitive focus, as it helps players plan and adapt their strategies effectively. ### Full details here: [Force IGN](https://docs.inhousequeue.xyz/docs/commands/queue-commands#crown-force-ign-sign-up) *** ## Scheduling Queues Having a set time for games makes queues more predictable. When players know games start at a specific time, like 6 PM, they can plan to be available. If queue scheduling is enabled, players can only join queues during the times you set.

Players cannot join the queue during the closed time

### Full details here: [Scheduling Queues](https://docs.inhousequeue.xyz/docs/commands/queue-commands#crown-set-a-schedule) *** ## Restrict Roles If your server focuses more on competitive play, you might want players to queue only for specific positions. This helps ensure higher game quality, as players stick to roles they are skilled in. We leave it up to your creativity to decide how players assign themselves Discord roles that represent the positions they play. However, we recommend not allowing players to select **ALL** positions, as this defeats the purpose of Role restriction. Once players have their assigned Discord roles, you can **Restrict** certain role buttons in the queue to **only** allow players with the corresponding **named** Discord role to join. For example:

This is great for giving instructions or reminding players of rules. For example, you might want to ban certain characters due to a bug or remind players that one person should create the game in the dedicated client and invite everyone. You can add this information with `/lobby add_info` and remove it later with `/lobby remove_info`. From our experience we think this is a great feature to have enabled in the early days of using InHouseQueue. You may find that members will still need some guidance, this is a great way to provide that.

When enabled, the MMR of each player will be visible as soon as they join the queue. {% hint style="info" %} MMR is meant to be a general guide to a player's skill level, not a tool for criticism. In competitive environments, some players may "dodge" queues by not accepting if they see a player with low MMR. This can create issues, but we provide solutions to handle such behavior. {% endhint %} For more details on how to punish toxic players, see the next feature [**Suspend Players from Queue**](#suspend-players-from-queue).

You can suspend a player from queuing by running `/queue suspend`.

However, please note that Discord bots cannot move members who are not already in a voice channel. This feature allows you to dedicate specific voice channels in your server as "Lobby" or "Waiting Room". Players waiting in these channels will automatically be moved to their team voice channels when a game begins. To enable this feature, use the `/voice set` command. If you want to disable it later, use `/voice unset`. You can set up multiple Waiting Rooms by running `/voice set` again as required. ### Full details here: [Voice Lobby/Waiting Rooms](https://docs.inhousequeue.xyz/docs/commands/voice-commands#-voice-commands) *** ## Default Settings InHouseQueue offers many customizable settings that can be turned on or off, such as creating voice channels or muting spectators. You can see the available settings by using the `/defaults` command or visiting [this page](https://docs.inhousequeue.xyz/docs/commands/server-commands#crown-turn-features-on-and-off) for the full list. ### Full details here: [Default Settings](https://docs.inhousequeue.xyz/docs/commands/server-commands#crown-turn-features-on-and-off) --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
