Keep in mind that the private lobbies option is only in beta. Players are able to organize large lobbies, assign squads of players, and have the tools for personal small-scale Warzone tournaments. In design, it would seem to be a great way for streamers to engage their community and host their own Call of Duty: Warzone events.

While the controls for private lobbies are currently limited, fans will no doubt find their own ways to spice up the Call of Duty: Warzone experience. There are several important factors when it comes to organizing a private match, and players should be aware of all of the limitations before attempting to hose a private lobby.
Starting a Private Match
Each mode in Warzone has a minimum player count required before being allowed to start. These player modes ensure that the lobby is being used for large groups, and helps ensure that the game will be enjoyable for everyone involved. The player counts required are as follows:
Core Battle Royale - 50 Players Required Plunder - 30 Players Required Mini Royale - 24 Players Required.
Once the minimum player count has been met, players can create their own server by following these steps.
Step 1: Go to the main Call of Duty: Warzone menu and select the “Private Match, Practice Mode” option. Step 2: Select “Warzone Private Match” Step 3: Choose the desired game mode under the Battle Royale or Plunder tab. Step 4: Choose “Random” or “Select Squad” Step 5: Invite all participants into the lobby. Players can organize all involved through the “Change Squad” menu.
Due to the high player requirement, this feature is being catered towards large groups and streaming communities. A majority of the Call of Duty: Warzone player base will most likely not be able to experience this game mode.
Player’s best chance to get involved in the private lobby function is to tune into their favorite Call of Duty: Warzone streamer or creator and see if they are hosting community lobbies. This may only be a beta feature, but it could be a massive part of the Warzone experience for content creators and the general Warzone streaming community.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
