Breakroom Start Here UI

Give your users a head start by installing one of Breakroom's instrumental onboarding tools. The Start Here panel allows users to select a starter avatar and access help with just a few clicks.

Overview

• Select an avatar from your default avatar collection
• Take an animated camera tour of the Region
• Visit a custom triage zone

In your Inventory, you'll see the Breakroom Start Here UI object represented by this icon:

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 by clicking the Edit Region button located in the bottom 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.

3. Click the Save button in the bottom right corner to save your work. Click the Close button to exit the Region Editor.
