View what's inside a Room

00:08

Rooms allow users to collaborate in real time by viewing content

00:12

that lives on the platform in a video conferencing environment.

00:16

In this tutorial,

00:17

we'll give you an overview of the user interface inside of a room, so that

00:21

you know your way around, and dive into

00:23

the features and functionality in more detail

00:25

in future tutorials.

00:28

Once inside a room,

00:29

you'll see thumbnails of each of the assets that have been added on the left.

00:34

Above these thumbnails,

00:35

you'll see icons that allow you to view the playlists that have been

00:38

added or any live streams that have been added to the room as well.

00:42

In the middle is the player which shows the asset that's selected on the left.

00:47

The transport controls along the bottom are the exact same as when

00:50

viewing an asset in a playlink or inside of a folder.

00:54

To the right of the player, you'll see either an icon representing each participant

00:59

or, if they have their camera turned on, a live video from wherever they are.

01:06

Here,

01:06

you can also change the view of the participants list, switching from gallery,

01:11

speaker,

01:12

or list.

01:15

If you're a host of the room,

01:16

you'll also see the syncing options drop down and the manage participants button,

01:20

which allows you to add or remove users.

01:24

On the very right hand side,

01:26

you'll see a number of rooms options, which will

01:28

vary depending on whether or not you're a host.

01:31

These may include the text chat option,

01:33

the comments section,

01:36

export comment section, and the same audio video

01:38

options found on the room's admin page.

01:42

Lastly,

01:42

the bar along the top has your camera and microphone options,

01:46

allowing you to toggle either of them on or off.

01:49

And in the upper left hand corner,

01:51

you have the ability to leave the room.

01:54

Now that you're familiar with where everything is,

01:56

we'll dive into each of the features in the tutorials that follow.
