Bookmarks and teleport invites
There's no need for airports or carpool lanes in the Metaverse—with Breakroom's suite of teleportation tools, you can get exactly where you need to go fast.
Overview
Teleportation lets you travel instantly to different locations both within and between Regions. In this section, we'll take a look at bookmarks and teleport invites and explain how they can be used to get around.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks are like virtual "pins" tacked on Breakroom's Metaverse map. By creating a bookmark, you can save the coordinates of a particular Region you might like to revisit. You can also share bookmarks with other users and use them to set specific landing points for any meetings that you schedule.
Creating bookmarks
To create a bookmark, follow these steps.
Navigate your avatar to the area you want to bookmark. Keep in mind that the bookmark coordinates will point to the exact point where your avatar is positioned.
When your avatar is in the right spot, click the Bookmark button located above the mini map.
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.
Using bookmarks
Once you've created a bookmark, you can use it to travel to a saved area by following these steps.
Open your Inventory by clicking the Inventory button in the bottom toolbar. Click on the Bookmark category to expand it.
Locate the bookmark you want to use, and click on it. In the action menu that appears, click the Teleport button.
Editing bookmarks
There are additional management functions available through the bookmark action menu.
To rename a bookmark, click the Rename button and enter the new name when prompted.
To rate the quality of a bookmark, click the Rate button. Choose your rating, and then click the OK button.
To delete a bookmark from your Inventory, click the Delete button.
Sharing bookmarks
The only way to share a bookmark is by attaching it to an in-world email. Once the recipient has accepted your attachment, they'll be able to use and edit their copy of the bookmark as described above.
To attach a bookmark to an in-world email, follow these steps.
Open the email composition window using your preferred method.
Click the Open Inventory button in the email composition window.
An Inventory window will open. Click on the item you want to send.
If you like, you can set a sale price for the item using either Silver or Gold currency. If you do this, there are two important things to keep in mind:
Breakroom will take 10% of the selling price as a fee for doing business on the platform.
If the other user declines to purchase the item, they will not receive it.
Once you're done composing your email, click the Send button.
If you don't want to sell the attachment, click the OK button to confirm your choice.
Teleport invites
You can meet up with other users in real time by teleporting to their location, or by inviting them to teleport to yours. There are multiple ways to accomplish this.
Teleporting to other users
If the other user is listed as a contact in your People list, click on their name and then click Teleport to User in the action menu that appears. Your contact will see a pop-up asking them to grant or deny your request.
If the other user is not yet one of your contacts, you can use the search field in the top toolbar to search for a full or partial name. Once you've found the right person, click on their name to open their user profile, then click More > Teleport to User. The other user will be see a pop-up asking them to grant or deny your request.
Inviting users to teleport to you
To ask a user to join you, repeat the steps outlined above, but click the Invite Here button. The other user will receive your teleport invitation, and will have the option to accept or dismiss it.
