What is Hidden Matchmaking Delay and how do I use it?

Hidden Matchmaking Delay creates a random small delay during matchmaking and hides matchmaking status updates. This can help to limit repeat in-game harassment, such as stream sniping. The random delay is chosen between 0 and the number of seconds selected for the setting. Each attempt to play will randomly generate a delay.

Note: Enabling this setting results in longer queue times.

To enable Hidden Matchmaking Delay, follow these steps:  

1. Open Fortnite.
2. Open the Social Menu. 
3. Select Settings.
4. Select Account and Privacy.
5. Navigate to Gameplay Privacy.
6. Use the slider for Hidden Matchmaking Delay to select the range you wish for the random delay.
