Creating a room

A room is a permanent collection of settings and roles configured to optimise functionality for a concrete videoconferencing purpose.
A single room can be used to run multiple sessions.
As a team member, you can create, configure and manage rooms.

Inheritance

It is important to understand the below inheritance rule:
Room settings except 'Privacy' and 'Maximum participants' are inherited from default room settings. You may customise your room by overriding these defaults; only unedited properties will continue to inherit future edits to default room settings.
Example 1: if you create a new room and don't tweak its primary colour, and then a team admin or owner alters primary colour in the default room settings to blue, your new room's primary colour will be inherited and automatically be made blue as well.
Example 2: if you create a new room and set its primary colour to red, and then a team admin or owner alters primary colour in the default room settings to blue, your new room's primary colour will stay red.

Implementation

To create a new room, go to to the Rooms section of the dashboard and click on the 'Create a room' button.
To save time, you can optionally also clone an existing room. To do so, go to the Rooms section of the dashboard and find the option in the three-dot menu next to each existing room.
You may also create a new room using the REST API.
You may always click the 'Reset to default' button to reset your room settings to match your 'default room settings'.
