Select your room mode

This article is designated for hosts and moderators.

About

There are two room modes. When creating a room from the +Create menu in your video portal, you can select the room mode. When creating a room from a video portal channel, it will automatically be set as an Interactive room.

Interactive

Interactive (previously Standard room or Virtual Classroom mode)- Each participant automatically joins the room on stage, with the ability to enable or disable their camera/microphone.

This mode is great for a meeting, virtual class, or in general any collaborative session of maximum 25 live participants (Note: it can be increased up to 50 upon request).

Panel with viewers

Panel with Viewers (previously Large room or Webinar mode) - Only the room host and moderators (up to 10 of them) join the session on stage. All other participants join the session as viewers, with their camera/audio disabled. Hosts and moderators can invite viewers to stage, and viewers can then accept or reject the invitation.

This mode works better for webinars, lectures or in general for larger events of up to 300 participants.
