How to invite friends to your BeamMP server

Click Copy invite message on the Play with friends card on your server's Overview page, and paste it in Discord or wherever your friends are. It has your server's name, its address and the steps to join from the BeamMP launcher.

Send the invite

1. Open your server in the panel. You land on Overview.
2. On the Play with friends card, click Copy invite message.
3. Paste it to your friends.

The message starts with Join my BeamNG server:, then look for your server name in the server list, with the address in brackets for Direct connect. Under How to join: it lists the card's three steps: open the BeamMP launcher and sign in, search for the server under Servers, or use Direct connect with the address.

Before you invite

• Add your BeamMP key and start the server: How to start your BeamMP server for the first time.
• Give the server a name your friends will recognise: How to change your BeamMP server name, map and slots.
• A private server is not in the list, so friends need the address and Direct connect. The message already has it.
• If the whitelist is on, add your friends' BeamMP IDs first: How to turn on the whitelist on your BeamMP server.
• Tell friends the first join downloads your mods and can take a while: How to make players join faster on your BeamMP server.

See who joined

Open Players in the left menu. Each player shows with their BeamMP ID, their cars and how long they have been on: How to see who is online on your BeamMP server. The Get your server ready card on Overview also ticks First player joined and Two players at once.

Let a friend help run the server

Playing and running the server are different. The invite lets a friend play. To let a friend restart the server, add mods or kick and ban players, invite them to the panel from Team & Roles in the left menu, or with Invite people at the end of the tab row on a desktop, and give them a role. See How to let a friend help run your BeamMP server and How to invite friends and give them access.
