The Basics
Moving Around
When you’re in the space, you’re represented by a little avatar (a small circle with your profile picture or initials). You can move around by 1) clicking and holding anywhere in the space, or 2) dragging and dropping your avatar.
2 Ways to Video Chat:
Areas
When you enter the space, you’ll notice labeled rectangles (Areas). Areas serve as video call rooms. To enter an Area, simply move your avatar into the rectangle and you’ll be connected to everyone else inside. To leave an Area, simply click the “Leave” icon at the bottom of your screen.
Bubbles
Bubbles are better for small group conversations. To Form a bubble, just move your avatar close to the avatar of someone else. You’ll be connected automatically to your conversation partner after about 1 second.
The Tool Bar
While not in a video call you will notice a tool bar along the right side of your screen. This will allow you to change your user settings, see who else is in the space, chat message, and more.
