Hello

I was wondering if its possible to toggle or make a room private (password protected) after it has been created?

No, it is possible to do it upon creation.

Really? Not even possible?

What about via server side? i.e. setPassword(String)

Yes, you can do it from server side but it will go out of synch with the client which will anyways see the Room as not password protected.

FYI: this is going to change with our next major release where Rooms will be dynamically rename-able, resizeable and password lock/unlock-able.

Stay tuned for more news on this in the next months

Thanks for the replies,

is there another method of somehow notifying the clients that a room is no longer available to join?

I am using it as a game room, when the game is started it should not be join-able any longer.

Yes, this can be done from server side.
You should inhibit the possibility joining Rooms from client side (by configuring the <DisabledSysActions> in your Zone) and perform the join from server side, via extension calls.
This way you can add your custom logic before joining and check whether a Room is joinable etc...
