Using the Meetings window

Stay on task using Breakroom's built-in Meetings calendar, and never miss a virtual beat. Advertise events, invite users to RSVP, and provide handy teleport bookmarks.

Overview

The Meetings window allows users with the appropriate permissions to schedule virtual events and publish them for review. Attendees can manage their own calendars and teleport to the venue when it's time to meet, saving staff the hassle of teleporting users individually.

World Owners and World Administrators can enable and disable parts of the UI via the Dashboard. You may not have access to the Meetings window and other tools described in this section.
