I cant get my Bluprint character to show up in unreal engine

Im new to unreal engine, im following along (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt13VcimeyI&t=465s) this tutorial on creating your first game. After creating a new character blueprint he goes to change the settings for the BP in the details bar, at 7:47 he goes to the “classes” option to change the “Default Pawn Class” to BP Player(as per the below screenshot).

I do not seem to have the “CLASSES” option in my settings window so i cant change the default pawn class. Am i missing something? How do i find this option or what do i do instead?

It’s not inside the character blueprint, it’s in the game mode. To create that, right click on an empty space in the content browser, choose the blueprint class option on the menu that pops up, and select game mode as it’s class.

You can also access this setting by navigating to your level where you can see your map from the viewport, then typing in “game mode” into the search bar inside the World Settings window that’ll be on the bottom right by default.
