# Manage meet visibility

> Control who can see scores and whether the meet is public or private.

You want to decide who gets to see your meet's scores and results. Maybe it's open to everyone, maybe it's a closed training meet. Either way, you control it from one place.

**Prerequisites:** You need to [create a meet](/meet-setup/create-a-meet.md) before you can configure visibility.

## Steps

1. From the meet admin, go to **Meet settings**, then select the **Visibility & access** tab.
2. Configure the settings below.

### Public vs. private scores

* **Public** means anyone can view scores and results. Spectators, parents, other clubs. This is what most meets use.
* **Private** means only registered participants can see scores.

Under **Score Visibility**, select **Public** or **Private**.

### Video recording

* Under **Video Recording**, select **Videos** to allow judges to upload routine videos from the Judges Companion app.
* You can configure video expiry dates separately, so recordings don't stick around forever.

### Meet password

The meet password is how judges sign into the Judges Companion app, together with a per-session password. If you are using Judges Companion to score, set a meet password and share it with your judges. The QR code you give them carries these credentials so they don't type them by hand (see [Sign in with a QR code](/judges-companion/index/sign-in-qr-code.md)).

The same password can also gate access: when registration is private, registrants enter it to sign up, and you can require it for spectators to view scores. That part is optional. The judge login use is not, if you score with Judges Companion.

## When to use what

Most organizers keep scores public. Parents and spectators expect to follow along on their phones, and public scoring makes that possible without any extra steps.

Private scoring makes sense for closed training meets or invitation-only events where you don't want results visible outside the group.

The password option sits in between. Scores are technically accessible, but only to people you've given the password to.
