Setting permissions for an individual user

PreviousSetting permissions for all usersNextControlling microphones

Last updated 1 month ago

  • To set specific permissions for an individual user, open the menu, select Host Controls , and then select the Users tab.

On the Host Controls page, each user is represented by a panel. Each icon on a panel represents a permission that you can toggle on and off. To toggle a permission, select the corresponding icon.

The permissions that you can set for individual users are determined by the device that they use. Android and iOS devices have the fewest capabilities. VR headsets have the highest number of capabilities because some features require hand controllers to use.

Permissions

The available permissions are summarized in the following table.
