  1. Configuring your room defaults

Components

As a team owner or team admin, you can configure your team's default room's components.

  • Screenshare Allow participants to share their screen. Mobile users will not be able to share their screen.

  • Participants panel When enabled, your participants will have access to the Participants panel.

  • Mute sound When enabled, participants will be able to mute the room sound locally.

  • Raise hand Allow participants to raise hand to take turns to speak without disrupting sessions.

  • Virtual backgrounds When enabled, participants will have the option to appear on virtual backgrounds to add personality and security by blocking out private spaces. Blurred background is not available in Safari.

  • Toolbar When disabled, participants will not see the toolbar. You will need to use the SDK to access the toolbar functionalities from within your website or app.

  • Picture-in-picture When enabled, participants will be able to extract the video and audio tiles into a new window, so they can read or watch another application while they still monitor and look at the conference. Very useful in scenarios when you are screensharing and still want to see the other participants. Picture-in-picture is available only under Chrome desktop browser and not yet available in an embedded (iframe) scenario.

  • Top bar When disabled, participants will not see the top bar or any of the elements or UI contained within: Any logo, recording label, E2EE label, Picture-in-picture, layout mode switcher. This setting affects only the room UI and will have no effect on recordings.

  • Layout mode switcher When disabled, participants will not see the 'mode switcher' and sessions will permanently be set in the mode selected in the ‘Layout mode on join’ setting.

Tiled and Auto modes complement each other smartly: Tiled mode is extremely flexible, allowing advanced participants to configure their video conferencing layout with great precision, whereas Auto mode makes reasonable decisions for less experienced users to get a great experience with their hands off their devices.

  • Pinning When enabled, participants will have the option to select a participant to enlarge and continuously watch. Pinning selections are personal, other participants will not see who you pinned.

  • Full screen

    The content should expand to cover the entire screen, not just within the frame.

  • Expand Allow participants to expand any participant tile to full screen within the frame. Will not work in Auto mode.

  • Minimise own tile Allow participants to minimise their own tile, so that they may use their screen space smartly to give more room to other items.

  • 'Join' and 'leave' notifications Send participants non-disruptive notifications to inform them when others join and leave the session.

  • ‘Invite people’ UI When enabled, users allowed to ‘Invite participants’ will see an ‘Invite people’ button in the participants panel. Also, when alone in the room they will see a notification suggesting them to invite other participants.

  • Whiteboard Beta When enabled, the Whiteboard component will be added to the room and participants with the 'edit whiteboard' permission will be able to open it and edit content.
