Lobby

When lobby mode is enabled, new participants entering the room are placed in a waiting area instead of joining directly. The owner or a moderator must explicitly admit each person.

To admit a participant from the lobby: 1. Open the Participants panel 2. You will see pending participants in a "Waiting" section 3. Click Admit to let them in, or Decline to reject them

Muting participants

Owners and moderators can mute individual participants:

  1. Open the Participants panel
  2. Hover over a participant's name
  3. Click the Mute button

You cannot force someone's camera off — you can only mute their microphone.

Removing participants

To remove a participant from a meeting:

  1. Open the Participants panel
  2. Hover over the participant's name
  3. Click Remove (or the three-dot menu → Remove)

The removed participant sees a message explaining they were removed and cannot rejoin without a new invite.

Recording permissions

By default, only the room owner and moderators can start recording. Attendees can request a recording, which appears as a notification to the owner/moderator who can then approve it.

This behavior can be changed in the room configuration.

Requesting to speak

Attendees can raise their hand to signal they want to speak:

  • Click the Raise hand button (✋) or press the corresponding shortcut
  • The moderator sees a queue of raised hands in the participants panel
  • After being acknowledged, lower your hand with the same button

Push-to-talk

Hold the V key to temporarily unmute your microphone while it is muted. Release V to mute again. This is useful in formal meetings where participants are muted by default.

Ending the meeting

Only the room owner can end the meeting for everyone:

  1. Click the Leave button
  2. Select End meeting for all

All participants are disconnected and the room session ends. The room itself (its name and settings) is not deleted — it can be reused for future meetings.
