BOTLOBBIESWhat is the verified player name requested during setup?
The verified player name identifies the real Fortnite player associated with the bot's setup. It is a separate role from the Epic account authorized to become the hosted bot, and selecting the correct player matters for supported party checks.
Choose the player you actually control
Enter and select the player identity intended to use the bot in Fortnite. If the search returns more than one candidate, compare the displayed names carefully rather than accepting a near match. This step is not an invitation and does not automatically add the bot to your party. It establishes which player the setup associates with the session, while the actual game membership still needs to be formed through Fortnite's normal social controls after the bot connection is available.
Keep the two Epic identities separate
The linked bot account supplies the automated presence, and the verified player supplies the person operating the game. Copying the bot's display name into the player field can confuse those roles. The readiness implementation checks whether the configured owner is present and distinguishes that account from the bot itself. A warning that the owner is missing can therefore point to a wrong player selection or a different party, rather than proving that the hosting service failed to connect the bot account.
Recheck after rebuilding a setup
If you change the intended player, recover an existing bot, or start a different setup, review the verification summary before proceeding. A previously selected name may no longer describe the person leading the new session. Correct an identity mismatch through the supported flow rather than trying repeated Ready commands. For support, say that the verified player does not match the intended party member and describe the visible result; avoid posting account IDs or screenshots containing authorization codes just to identify which field is wrong.
