                    Join In-Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    Almost all games allow you to join a server from inside the game. While the exact steps for each game can vary, generally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    1. To connect to your server from in game, click the View Connection Details<\/code> button to get your server’s IP and Port<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                      \n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      1. Launch your game and look for a Multiplayer<\/code>, Join Server<\/code>, Join Game<\/code>, Server(s)<\/code> button in the menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                        Some games, such as source games, need you to use the console to join a server. Generally this is accessed with the tilde key ( ~<\/code> ), but it can vary from game to game, and some games might need the console enabled in their settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        1. Add in your server’s IP and Port to the relevant sections. If there is no section for the port, you should add it at the end of an IP after a colon, for example if your IP is 127.0.0.1<\/code> and your port is 25565<\/code>, you would add 127.0.0.1:25565<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                          If your games needs you to use the console to connect, generally typing connect IP:Port<\/code> should be enough, for example connect 127.0.0.1:25565<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \"Connect\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                          Now, you’ve just joined your server!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
