# Realtime Settings

## Overview

We're going to roll out a Realtime Settings screen that will allow you to setup parameters for your Realtime account. 

## Usage

In the Realtime section of the Dashboard, under Settings, you will find the settings you can change.

Currently we're giving you control over:
* Channel restrictions - Control wether you allow public access to your channels. Public access means that you can use Private and Public channels. As a reminder, Private channels are the ones to which you have setup [Realtime Authorization](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/realtime/authorization).
* Database connection pool size - The amount of connections allocated to [Realtime Authorization](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/realtime/authorization) RLS checking. This will impact your join rate by being able to increase the rate of checks for your private channels. Be aware this will consume more direct connections from your database available connections
* Max concurrent clients - If you have disabled the spending cap you are able to increase the number of concurrent clients and change your Rate Limit for this specific flag.
