I can list match from server or client side but I only get match id, label, size and authoritative details. Can I get player details inside of game? If I join this game, yes I can get presence details but I wanna details **before** entering the table. I wanna create a lobby, listing all active matches.

For example, 2 player playing in X time and I wanna join their game (spectator) but I need to know who playing at this table? For this reason I need player details such as display name, profile url, chips etc.

Thanks.

@volvox To expose information about the match which you want players to see and or search on you can embed it into the match label:

[https://heroiclabs.com/docs/gameplay-multiplayer-server-multiplayer/#match-listings](https://heroiclabs.com/docs/gameplay-multiplayer-server-multiplayer/#match-listings)

This way it can be viewed in match listings and also searched over when listing matches on the server. This info is returned in the `IApiMatch.Label` field which can be decoded from JSON.
