> XblMultiplayerManagerEstimatedMatchWaitTime

Retrieves the estimated wait time, in seconds, to complete a matchmaking request in progress.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
uint32_t XblMultiplayerManagerEstimatedMatchWaitTime(  
)  
```

### Parameters

### Return value

Type: uint32\_t

The estimated wait time, in seconds.

## Remarks

Call this function only after the [XblMultiplayerManagerFindMatch](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/live/xsapi-c/multiplayer_manager_c/functions/xblmultiplayermanagerfindmatch.md) function has been called to submit a matchmaking request. The matchmaking request uses SmartMatch to find an existing game that has enough open player slots for all the members in the lobby session. If a matchmaking request isn't in progress, this function returns zero (0) seconds. For more information about finding a multiplayer game, see [Enable finding a multiplayer game by using SmartMatch using Multiplayer Manager](https://docs.xbox.com/services/xbox-services/multiplayer/mpm/how-to/live-play-multiplayer-with-matchmaking.md).
