# 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](https://docs.gymart.org/meet-setup/create-a-meet) before you can configure visibility.

## Steps

1. From the meet admin, go to **Meet Information** then **Visibility**.
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.

Toggle the **Public** switch to control this.

### Video recording

* **Enable Recording** lets judges upload routine videos from the Judges Companion app.
* You can configure video expiry dates separately, so recordings don't stick around forever.

### Meet password

You can set a password that controls access to live scoring views. This is separate from registration. It's typically shared with judges so they can log into the Companion app.

If you want spectators to need a password too, this is where you set that up.

## 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.
