How to Use the Meeting Room

What is a Meeting Room?

Like in a real office, the meeting room is a space for members to hold meetings.

You can check who is having a meeting without entering it by looking at the sidebar and meeting room cards on the floor.

Unlike the floor, other membersā€™ voices can be heard from anywhere in the meeting room. Share your voice, camera, and screen; and use other collaboration tools with everyone in the room and have a meeting with strong togetherness.

Private Meeting Room

There are two types of meeting rooms: public and private.

The meeting room cards on the floor for public meeting rooms are blue, but those for private ones are gray.

Up to two people can enter the private meeting room without invitation.

However, when there are already two or more people in the room, others cannot enter unless one of the members in the meeting directly invites them.

The private meeting rooms can be set from the gear icon on the upper left corner of the meeting room. Be sure to click the blue ā€œUpdateā€ button to apply changes.
