Lobbies

The basics

Lobbies are associated to projects, the same way your websites or idea machines are.
For a project you can add as many lobbies as you like - in many cases on lobby per project will do.

Main Features

• A welcome message visible for all users at any time
• A video-chat function incl. presenters mode, which mutes all participants, except the presenters
• A chat function to communicate with all participants and allow participants to communicate with each other - the chat function is also active during the creative session
• A bulletin board where you can share many types of information - such as pages from your websites, videos, interactive idea machine tools, Google documents and special widgets

Managing lobbies

• To manage a lobby a users needs the privilege "manage lobby x" or "manage all lobbies" in your project
• To join a lobby users need the privilege "can join lobby x" or "can join all lobbies" in your project

Actions

For every lobby you can predefine as many actions as you like by creating new actions or importing actions from templates
