Rooms
Rooms allow you to have a meeting space with a permanent link. The link can be customized when creating the room, and it will not change after that.
Inside a room, you can host an unlimited number of sessions. After each session that takes place in a room ends, you will find it in Memory. This helps you keep track of all the meetings that take place in your room.
How to set up a Room:
- Go to Home.
- Click on Rooms (left sidebar).
- Click on New room.
- Give your room a name.
- Edit the structure of the link if you want. (Note that each roomâs URL must be unique)
- Add a description (optional).
- If you want, toggle on âLock sessionâ. This means youâll approve each attendee before they can join a session in that room.
- If you want, you can toggle on âAsk for consentâ. This will inform participants that a live stream, transcript, and recording will take place, and ask for their consent.
- If you want, you can toggle on âRequest passcodeâ. This way, if someone wants to join a room session, they have to insert the passcode.
Agenda
If you want to add an agenda to a Room, follow these steps:
- Go to your Rooms setup page.
- Click on Agenda.
- Click on Add agenda.
- If youâve previously created the agenda, then search for it and import it. Otherwise, click on New agenda to create a new one from scratch.
The agenda template you add here will automatically be embedded in all the sessions you host in that Room.

Exit page
- Go to the Exit page to configure what participants see after leaving the room:

When youâre done, click on Create room.
When you first click on Rooms, youâll see a list of all your rooms.
đ When you click on a specific room, youâll see all the sessions that took place inside that room.
A session that takes place in a room ends:
1. When the Host or Assistants click on âEnd for allâ.
2. After 15 minutes of inactivity in that Room. If nobody joins the session or everybody leaves, the room session will automatically end after 15 minutes.
How to share a room with team members

- Go to Sessions Home.

- Click on the Room you want to share with one or more team members.
- If you want to share that Room with the entire workspace, toggle on âWorkspace accessâ.

â You can only add workspace members.
â Workspace members with roles that have disabled Privacy â View other membersâ details will not be able to share a room with other team members.
- Click Done.
A Room that has been shared only with certain workspace members will showcase their profile images under the Manage team members button:
â If you want to remove your entire workspaceâs access to your room:
- Follow steps 1-3 from above.
- Toggle off âWorkspace accessâ.
â If you want to remove a team memberâs access to your room:

What you should know about Rooms:
When you create a Room setup, you create the standard template for all the sessions that will take place in your room.
- For example, if you add an agenda in the setup stage, this will automatically be uploaded to all the sessions that will take place in the room.
Changes you make in a live session will not affect the entire room setup. They will affect only that session.
- For example, youâve added an agenda when you set up the room. If you remove this agenda in a live session and add other tools and resources, these changes will only affect that session. The next session that takes place in the room will have the agenda you added when you set up the room.
- Chat conversations, polls created, questions submitted, notes, etc. are only available for that active session. They will not show up in your next session in Room.
- If there isnât an active session in progress already, a new session will start when someone accesses the room link. It will require no intervention from you as the host, except if you enabled the "Lock session" option for the Room. In that case, you, as the host, will need to be present to let participants in.
- Once a session ends, all its contents will be found in Memory.
- The next session you will host in the room will have the original settings you made (not the changes made in a previous session).
- You can enable or disable Rooms just as you would for a âBook meâ link.
- If a session inside a Room is live, you as the Room's owner, will see it on your Home page.
- Room sessions are not displayed in Calendar.
