Joining a room

You can join a room only after you have chosen a Floor.
Once in a Floor, select any room to join.

Room status

When you are in a room, you will be prompted to set a room status. This is a great way to share what you are working on with your colleagues.

1. Directly under the room title, you will see an area to add text.
2. Replace “What is going on in here?” with what you are working on.
   
3. Your room status will show to every member on your floor.
4. Room statuses clear when all users leave a room.
   

Personal Status

In the bottom right corner, you will see a status button. Click on the button and this will open a dropdown menu of preset statuses to use.

1. Choose from the options available or set a custom status.
   
2. To set a custom status, start typing in the box and open the emoji picker to select a custom emoji.
3. Setting a personal status is important for letting your team know if you are available for collaboration or taking a break.
4. To clear a custom status, click the X in the status bar. To clear a preset status, such as “Be right back”, click anywhere on your screen.
   

Virtual backgrounds

To access virtual backgrounds, locate the gear icon from the menu bar at the bottom of your screen.

Locking a room

A room can be locked if you are having a private conversation or meeting.
