# Participants

> The list of who is in the room: the cards, the health bars, the lines, your picture in the room and each person's menu.

Page: https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mesa/participantes/

The **Participants** tab shows who is in the room, split into **Game masters**, **Players** and **Spectators**. At the top are **Invite friends**, **Talk to the GM** (a direct chat with the room owner, for anyone who isn’t them), **Group chat…** and **Voice and video**.

*Screenshot:* The participants list: the game master Marina; the players Bram (Davi's) and Aria (Luana's), with the health and energy bars and the Poisoned condition; and the spectator Teo.

## The card

Each person has a card with:

- the **picture** (the one for this room, if the person chose one; otherwise, their profile’s);
- the **main character’s name**, with the person’s name below it (without a character, their name or nickname);
- the green online dot, and “typing…” while they write;
- the **bars** (health, energy…) and free-text **lines** (a condition, for example). How many show up, their names and their colors are the room’s [game rules](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mestres/regras-de-jogo/).

Double-click the card to open the person’s profile.

## Bars and lines

In most rooms, the main character’s sheet fills in the bars: change the health on the sheet, and the bar changes. You can also change them directly:

- **Double-click one of your bars** to open the editor, with the **Current value** and the **Maximum**. Type a number, or `+5` to add, `-3` to take away, `=10` to set the number. **Enter** saves, **Esc** cancels.
- **Double-click one of your lines** to write in it, right there. The cursor goes to the end of the text, without erasing what was there. **Enter** or clicking elsewhere saves, **Esc** cancels. Empty lines show faded, with their name, only to those who can write in them.
- **Card bars and lines…**, in your name’s menu, edits everything at once.

*Screenshot:* The editor for Aria's Health bar, with -3 typed in the Current value and the maximum 22, and the Cancel and OK buttons.

You change your own bars and lines; the game master changes everyone’s. When a bar changes, the chat says so, for example “Davi’s Health: -4” (turn it off in **Settings → Chat**).

> **Note**
>
> The game master can hide a bar’s numbers: others see the bar, but only its owner and the game masters see “18/22”. When it changes, the notice for whoever cannot see the numbers is just “+?” or “-?”.

## A person’s menu

Right-click the name (or the card’s **…** button):

- **View profile**;
- **View photo**: the card’s photo at a large size (only when the person has a photo);
- **Open …’s sheet**, the main character’s;
- **Chat**: a direct chat with the person, at the bottom, even if they aren’t your friend (see [Chatting with people who aren’t your friends](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/comecando/perfil-e-amigos/#chatting-with-people-who-arent-your-friends));
- **Talk privately** and **Start a group chat**, the room’s conversations (see [Chat](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mesa/chat/#private-and-group-conversations));
- on your own name: **Card bars and lines…**, **Change my photo at this table…**, **Change my nickname** and **Stop using a main character**.

The game master has more options: roles, silencing, kicking, creating and handing out sheets. See [Roles and moderation](https://docs.rpgdesk.com/en/mestres/papeis/).

*Screenshot:* The game master's menu on Davi: view profile, view photo, card bars, change the photo, talk privately, group chat, make game master, make player, silence, hide the chat, kick and ban.

## Your picture in this room

In each room, you can use a different picture, your character’s: **Change my photo at this table…**, in your name’s menu. The image comes from your computer and is cropped to a square. **Go back to my profile photo** removes this room’s picture. The game master can also change anyone’s picture in their room.
