UI tour

Breakroom's UI gives you the tools you need to thrive in the Metaverse. Learn how to find your way around, manage your personal connections, and access various types of media.

Overview

Breakroom's UI, or user interface, contains almost all of the information and tools you'll need to interact in virtual space. When enabled, the UI components will frame the screen.
