The Meetings window and region bookmarks

Breakroom's built-in events schedule makes it easy to keep everyone on the same page. Advertise events and meetings, invite specific users to RSVP and attend, and provide handy teleport bookmarks.

Overview

The Meetings window allows you to schedule virtual events and publish them for your users to see—even weeks in advance. Users can add your events to their own schedules and immediately teleport to your chosen venue when it's time to meet, saving you the hassle of teleporting them individually. You can also opt to make events invite-only, or open them up to a wider audience.

To learn more about an event, click on the listing in the Meetings window. If you're the person who scheduled the event, you'll see a ... button allowing you to edit or delete that event listing.

If you set your event to Public, anyone will be able to view the event in the Meetings window, RSVP, and attend. If you set your event to Only Invited, you will need to invite your chosen attendees using these additional steps.

1. Click the Add Attendees button. This will open the Invite Attendees window.

2. To invite individual users: Using the tabs on the left, locate the users you want to invite. Click on each attendee's name to highlight it, or check the Select All box at the top of a user category to invite all of the listed users. You can also use the search field to locate users.

   1. Category listings include:

      1. Invited List: All users currently invited to the event.

      2. All Attendees: All users who have accounts on your world.

      3. Contacts: All users in your personal People list.

3. To invite all members of a group: Using the group tabs on the left, locate the group(s) you want to invite. Click on each group member's name to highlight it, or check the Select All box at the top of the group tab to invite every member of that group.

4. Once you have chosen which attendees you want to invite, click the Select button.

Once you have scheduled an invite-only event, invitations will go out on the Breakroom platform, allowing users to RSVP. Public events will immediately be published in the Meetings window.

Using direct bookmarks

Landmarks are currently being rebranded as bookmarks. You may see both terms used in the existing Breakroom UI.

You can choose the precise location where your attendees will arrive by using the Select Landmark drop-down menu when scheduling an event. To get started, you will first need to bookmark your chosen landing spot.

The mini map.

To bookmark a specific spot in your region, follow these steps.

1. Navigate your avatar to the region where you want to create a bookmark. Make sure your avatar is standing directly where you want users to land.

2. When your avatar is in the right area, click the bookmark icon located above the mini map (highlighted above).

3. In the dialog box that appears, enter a name for your bookmark and click the OK button. This will create a bookmark object in your inventory.

4. Using the steps outlined above, schedule a new event. After you select the event region, use the Select Landmark drop-down menu to choose the bookmark you just created.

5. Once you are satisfied with your event details, click the Save button.

Now when users teleport to your event, they will arrive at the exact location your bookmark specifies.
