# Broadcaster
Send global messages to players!
Example message on server
In `broadcaster.conf` you can find two options such as `broadcasts` and `configVersion`, you should only edit **first** one. It should look like this:
```json5
broadcasts {
{
// List with your messages
messages=[
{
lines=[
"My first broadcast?"
]
},
{
lines=[
"My second broadcast?"
]
}
// and etc...
]
// This prefix will be applied to all messages sent
prefix="[server]"
// Minimum player requirement to send this broadcast
min-players=1
// Next time broadcast will be run, be sure NOT to
// edit this unless you know what you're doing!
next-date-time="2023-07-18T12:01:26.344175264"
// Should messages be randomized or follow the order
randomize=false
// Only players with permissions will be able to receive broadcast
requires-permission=false
// Timeout in seconds between messages
timeout=45
}
}
```
I tried to explain everyting using comments above, but I still want to clarify some things about few parameters:
#### requires-permission
Players will receive message **only** if they have special permission which depends on your broadcast name, it looks like this: `server-toolbox.broadcasts..receive`
#### timeout
This value represents timeout between messages in seconds, but please **don't use too short timeouts** (like 5,10,20 seconds) as it can affect the server performance too much!
### Formatting and Placeholders
Broadcasts support formatting and placeholders in prefix and messages, [use this documentation](https://placeholders.pb4.eu/user/general/) to understand how it works.
