+# Hiding Players
+
+You can hide specific players if you don't want them to show up at all in the HUD.
+This may be useful for coaches that are misrepresented as dead players.  
+Please note that if you hide a real player, you will run into issues.
+
+To hide a player, use the `teams.hiddenPlayers` option on the HUD config page at http://127.0.0.1:31982/config.
+Provide either a player's SteamID64, or a player's name.
+Provide one player per line.
+
+If you use a player's name, you'll need to exactly match the name that would otherwise be displayed by the HUD.
+If you've changed their name using [Player Name Overrides](https://github.com/drweissbrot/cs-hud/blob/master/docs/player-name-overrides.md), use the name that you used for the override.
