# Network Room Player

The Network Room Player stores per-player state for the [Network Room Manager](https://mirror-networking.gitbook.io/docs/manual/components/network-room-manager) while in the room. When using this component, you need to write a script which allows players to indicate they are ready to begin playing, which sets the ReadyToBegin property.

A game object with a Network Room Player component must also have a Network Identity component. When you create a Network Room Player component on a game object, Unity also creates a Network Identity component on that game object if it does not already have one.
