Customizing the UI

Overview

As noted on our UI orientation page, Breakroom's UI, or user interface, contains the tools your users need to navigate and participate in your world. World Owners have the option to enable or disable the basic UI components at any time through the Dashboard.

In the following sections, we will discuss how removing certain UI components may impact the virtual world experience for your end users. You will also learn how to customize the Breakroom UI settings.

End user impact

The following UI components can be toggled on or off via the Dashboard. The location of each UI component is documented on our UI orientation page.

Here's how removing each UI component may affect your users.
