Breakroom offers World Owners and their users a variety of support resources, including:

* [Built-in device and networking testing](https://docs.breakroom.tech/getting-started/using-the-conference-system/troubleshooting-audio-and-video-issues)
* [Device](https://docs.breakroom.tech/getting-started/using-the-conference-system/troubleshooting-audio-and-video-issues#basic-troubleshooting-tips), [World Stream](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/world-stream/troubleshooting-world-stream-issues-on-chrome) and [network](https://docs.breakroom.tech/help/troubleshooting-network-ports-and-firewalls) troubleshooting guides
* [New user guides](https://docs.breakroom.tech/getting-started)

However, for large events you may want to designate a *triage zone* where attendees can access immediate technical assistance. By specifying a triage zone in the Start Here UI, you will add a button that attendees can click to teleport directly to your support area. Moderators can also send attendees to the triage area using the teleportation options built into the [moderator tools](https://docs.breakroom.tech/running-your-event/moderator-tools/crowd-management).

{% hint style="info" %}
The instructions provided in this section presume an advanced working knowledge of Breakroom. Please consult our documentation if you need help [installing](https://docs.breakroom.tech/creating-custom-experiences/using-the-region-editor) and [positioning](https://docs.breakroom.tech/creating-custom-experiences/using-the-region-editor/editing-and-moving-objects) virtual objects, or editing the [RoomFurniture component](https://docs.breakroom.tech/running-your-event/customizing-the-conference-system-components/the-roomfurniture-component).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
After using the [Region Editor](https://docs.breakroom.tech/creating-custom-experiences/using-the-region-editor) to add or edit a voice zone, always remember to click the **Reset Zones button** to reset the conferencing system. If this doesn't seem to push your changes forward, try saving your work, leaving the Region, and entering it again.

## Assistance options <a href="#assistance-options" id="assistance-options"></a>

It is important to note that triage zones are quick-teleport destinations available through the Start Here UI. They have no special functionality. Instead, you will need to make key decisions about the way you use your triage area based on the needs of your audience.

If you have a large team, you may want to train several "triage leaders" who will actively staff the triage zone for the duration of your event. Triage leaders could be trained to:

* Identify struggling users and [reach out to them](https://docs.breakroom.tech/running-your-event/moderator-tools/broadcast-messages) using the moderator tools
* Use the moderator tools to [move users](https://docs.breakroom.tech/running-your-event/moderator-tools/crowd-management) to the triage zone
* Communicate with users via [text](https://docs.breakroom.tech/getting-started/communicating-with-other-users#text-chat) and [voice chat](https://docs.breakroom.tech/getting-started/communicating-with-other-users#voice-chat)
* Troubleshoot any issues that are preventing users from participating in the event

If you have a small team, you may opt to offer passive assistance with or without a limited triage leader presence. This might look like:

* Graphic guides posted on [Breakroom Image Viewers](https://docs.breakroom.tech/creating-custom-experiences/exploring-the-breakroom-toolkit/breakroom-image-viewer), with or without built-in links
* Tutorial or troubleshooting videos accessible through [Breakroom Video Players](https://docs.breakroom.tech/creating-custom-experiences/exploring-the-breakroom-toolkit/breakroom-video-player), with or without built-in links
* Interactive website assistance offered through [Breakroom Web Browsers](https://docs.breakroom.tech/creating-custom-experiences/exploring-the-breakroom-toolkit/breakroom-web-browser)

After setting up a [breakout area](https://docs.breakroom.tech/running-your-event/customizing-the-conference-system-components/adding-breakout-areas) or [custom voice zone](https://docs.breakroom.tech/running-your-event/customizing-the-conference-system-components/creating-custom-voice-zones), you can specify it as a triage zone by following the steps below.

1. Log in to your Breakroom World and navigate your avatar to the Region you would like to edit.
2. Open the Region Editor by clicking the **Edit Region button** at the bottom of your screen.
3. Click the **Objects Button** to launch the [Objects window](https://docs.breakroom.tech/creating-custom-experiences/using-the-region-editor#the-objects-window).
4. In the Objects window, locate the **Start Here UI object**. (Tip: You can use the **search field** at the top of the window to search for a specific object.) Click on the object name to launch the **Inspector window**.
5. In the Inspector window, locate the **RoomFurniture component** (highlighted above). Expand it by clicking the **> arrow**.
6. Locate the **Triage Zone field**. Into this field, enter the **name** of the zone you want to designate as the triage zone. (In the example above, we have named a custom voice zone *Triage Zone*, as highlighted in the Objects window.)
7. Click the **Save button** to store your changes. Click the **Reset Zones button** to reset the conferencing system.
8. Click the **Close button** to exit the Region Editor. Leave the Region and return to activate the Get Help button in the Start Here UI.
