The Breakroom Start Here UI (sometimes referred to as the *Start Here panel*) forms an integral part of the Breakroom [conference system](https://docs.breakroom.tech/getting-started/using-the-conference-system), and comes pre-equipped in most Breakroom [Region templates](https://docs.breakroom.tech/building-new-worlds/region-template-descriptions). Depending on the setup of your Region, visitors may be able to:

* Select an avatar from your [default avatar collection](https://docs.breakroom.tech/creating-custom-experiences/selecting-default-avatars/default-avatar-collections)
* Take an animated [camera tour ](https://docs.breakroom.tech/creating-custom-experiences/exploring-the-breakroom-toolkit/breakroom-tour-cameras)of the Region
* Visit a [custom triage zone](https://docs.breakroom.tech/running-your-event/customizing-the-conference-system-components/designating-triage-zones)

In your Inventory, you'll see the Breakroom Start Here UI object represented by this icon: <img src="https://1679086873-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5gOE0ivmDtuXfHroTVSx%2Fuploads%2FF6WHUZViu7iel9Y10zMw%2FToolkit_Starthere.png?alt=media&#x26;token=a095afcb-d2d5-4ac4-8e4e-ea7c36be226d" alt="" data-size="line">

{% hint style="warning" %}
In order for this Toolkit object to work, you must have the Breakroom conference core components installed in the same Region. If you have uploaded a custom Region, you will need to [install these components manually](https://docs.breakroom.tech/advanced-tutorials/uploading-your-own-region/installing-the-conference-system-components) prior to setting up this object.

When hosting events on Breakroom, there may be occasions where you don't want the Start Here UI to appear in a Region (for example, if you're hosting an event for seasoned Breakroom users who do not 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](https://docs.breakroom.tech/customization/using-the-region-editor) by clicking the **Edit Region button** located in the [bottom toolbar](https://docs.breakroom.tech/getting-started/ui-tour#the-bottom-toolbar). Then click the **Objects button**.
2. In the Objects window, expand the [room floor](https://docs.breakroom.tech/using-the-region-editor#the-objects-window) 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.)
   1. **To delete the Start Here UI:** To the right of the Breakroom Start Here UI, you'll see a **trash can icon**. Click this icon to delete the object from the Region.&#x20;
   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.&#x20;
3. Click the **Save button** in the bottom right corner to save your work. Click the **Close button** to exit the Region Editor.

## Installing or reactivating the Start Here UI

2. **To install the UI panel:**

   3. Click on the object icon. Then click on a location in your Region to place the Start Here UI down. (Note: This object is invisible—you can place it anywhere. However, we encourage you to locate it at 0,0,0 in your region by manually editing the [Transform component](https://docs.breakroom.tech/using-the-region-editor/editing-and-moving-objects#editing-the-transform-component).)
3. **To reactivate a disabled UI panel:** In the **Objects window**, expand the room floor. Locate the Breakroom Start Here UI object. Click the **eye icon** associated with the object.
4. Click the **Save button** in the bottom right corner to save your work. Click the **Close button** to exit the Region Editor.

Once these steps are completed, the Breakroom Start Here UI will appear on your screen. The **Avatar button** will give users access to the default avatar collection you've chosen.
