If you have not yet created a room, follow this guide on how to create a new room.
Once you have some rooms, you can manage them in different ways. To start managing your rooms, follow these steps.
- Log into your Session account
- From the Dashboard/Homepage, locate the room that you would like to manage
- Click on the room tile
Here you’ll be able to:
Rename your room
Simply click on the pencil icon to rename your room.
The room's join link will not be affected if the name of the room is changed. The name that was set when the room was created will remain. If you would like to change it, you would be required to create a new room.
Change privacy settings
To show the setting for privacy, you will have to click the pencil icon next to the title of your room
Now, you can toggle the switch next to "Privacy" to "lock" or "unlock" your room.
A locked room means that participants will be put into a waiting room. They will need to click on the Ask to join button to alert the room owner or host that they would like to enter the room. The room owner will then be notified and can let participants in.
For unlocked rooms, anyone with the link can join the Room at any time.
