When hosting events on Breakroom, there may be occasions when you don't want the Start Here UI to appear (for example, if you're hosting an event for seasoned Breakroom users who won't require access to default avatars). To delete the Start Here UI from a Region that currently contains it, or to temporarily disable the Start Here UI without deleting it, follow these steps.

  1. Open the Region Editor by clicking the Edit Region button in the top toolbar. Then click the Objects button.
  2. In the Objects window, expand the room floor by clicking the > arrow located to the left of its name. Locate the Breakroom Start Here UI object. (Alternatively, you can search for "Start Here UI" in the search field.)

    2. To temporarily disable the Start Here UI: To the right of the Breakroom Start Here UI, you'll see an eye icon. Click this icon to temporarily disable or "mute" the panel.
