Setting the location for a persistent or commercial Session

PreviousJoining a persistent or commercial SessionNextLITE user limits

Last updated 20 days ago

When you create a persistent or commercial Session, its location is automatically set to the Hub Space. To set a different location, a user with host permissions must join the Session, and then use the in-Session menu to change the location.

  • For instructions on how to change the location of a Session, see Changing location.

The Session will use the new location until you or someone else with host permissions chooses a different location.

If the first user to join an empty persistent or commercial Session encounters an error, and that error is attributed to the location, the persistent Session will reset to use the Hub Space.
