Setting permissions for all users

You can set permissions for all users in a Session. When you make selections, they're immediately applied to all users in a Session and to any users that subsequently join.
To set specific permissions for all users, open the menu, select Host Controls , and then select the Session Settings tab.
The available options are summarized in the following table.
Access microphone permission settings. You can choose to mute all users, and then choose whether you will allow them to unmute themselves. You can also choose to keep all LITE users muted.
Turn on to allow non-hosts to change the Session's location.
Turn on to allow non-hosts to load an item of Content in the Session.
Note: If the content requires a change in location, a non-host must also have the Load Location permission to successfully load the content.
Turn off to hide the names that appear over the heads of avatars.
Turn off to prevent the clapping sound effect that accompanies the clapping gesture.
Activate spatial audio, where the volume reduces as the person moves further away. Turn on to activate 3D voice for all users.
Activate controls to adjust the 3D voice distance. See the section below for more information.
Turn on to allow users to capture shared IFX in any snapshot that they create. When this option is turned off, a user's snapshot can include only the IFX that they added and didn't share.
When 3D voice is active, the volume of a person's voice reduces as you move further away from them. When you get beyond a set distance from the person, you can no longer hear them. You can use the 3D Voice Distance adjustment tool to visually adjust the falloff distance, and to set an appropriate value for a specific location.
For example, if your location is a trade show floor, you can set a 3D voice distance to ensure that conversations in one booth aren't heard in neighbouring booths. You could stand in a booth, adjust the 3D voice distance, and see how far away your voice would be heard.
To adjust the 3D voice distance, complete the following steps:
Open your menu or tablet, select the Users page, and then select the Session Settings tab.
On the Session Settings tab, select 3D Voice Distance.
The 3D Voice Distance window appears, and concentric circles are overlaid onto the location. Within the central circle, your voice is heard at full volume. Beyond the outer circle, your voice isn't heard.
