Breakroom Start Here UI

Give your users a head start by installing one of Breakroom's instrumental onboarding tools. The Start Here UI allows users to select a starter avatar and access tutorials.

Overview

Several Breakroom conferencing system and navigation components. Note the Start Here UI on the far left side.

The Breakroom Start Here UI (sometimes referred to as the Start Here panel) forms an integral part of the Breakroom conferencing system, and comes pre-equipped in most Breakroom region templates. Depending on the setup of your region, visitors may be able to:

• Select an avatar from your default avatar collection

• Access help videos

• Take a live camera tour of the region

• Visit your custom triage zone

Many of these buttons are optional, or will only appear if you have the related functionality equipped in your region. For more information about setting up tour cameras or a triage zone, please consult the linked documentation.

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