Above is an example of the notification/invitation users will receive when you click the Auditorium button. Users can dismiss this notification by clicking Okay.
After they acknowledge your invitation, users will see the secondary dialog box pictured above. They can immediately teleport to the Auditorium by clicking the Yes button, or decline by clicking the No button.

Clicking the Breakout button will teleport every user in the region to a breakout area. Users will be randomly distributed between the region's active breakout areas, and will not be presented with the option to decline the teleportation order.
Upon successful use of the Breakout button, Moderators will receive a pop-up confirmation.
Custom teleport options
By using the Attendees and Places drop-down menus in conjunction with the Teleport button, you can direct traffic to other areas in your region. Users will not be presented with the option to decline the teleportation order, and will be moved automatically to the specified area.
