Joining a Webinar Themed Room

The steps are quite similar to joining a Meetup or Workshop-themed room, however, with the Interactive Webinar-themed room, you won't need to configure your video and audio settings before joining. 

You'll be able to configure your audio and video feed if you decide to go on stage after joining, or if someone invites you on stage. Check out our article on the Interactive Webinar Theme for more details.
