Hello, the easiest way is by getting the player list and then getting the size of elements inside the table. To get the player list, you use game.Players:GetPlayers(), that will return a table with the current players, so we can get the number of elements inside that table by doing #game.Players:GetPlayers(), that will be the number of players currently on the server

Thanks!
Hi there. What you can do, is this:
local Players = game:GetService("Players") --gets players
local PlayerCount = #Players:GetPlayers() --gets the amount of players
local GUI = script.Parent --reference variable for your gui, index it to wherever your GUI is
GUI.Visible = false --makes the gui disappear
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function() --if a player gets added,
PlayerCount = PlayerCount + 1 --increase the playercount by 1
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function() --if a player gets removed,
PlayerCount = PlayerCount - 1 --decrease the playercount by 1
end)
if PlayerCount == 1 then --if the playercount is equal to one, we can do this because if there's only one player in your game, the gui would only be visible to the one player in your game
GUI.Visible = true --make the GUI visible
end
if PlayerCount >= 1 then --if the playercount is higher than 1 then
GUI.Visible = false --make the GUI disappear
end
I'm pretty sure this will work. Thanks, and have a good day.

I’m pretty sure that you need to put a “while,do” statement for the if statements, but otherwise, the script works.

The main reason why I’m asking this is because when I search up “How to check the amount of players inside of a game Roblox” on YouTube, all that shows up are tutorials on checking the last time a specific player played lol.
