Controls available once you are connected to a room: sharing, layout focus, moderation, and recovery paths.
Screen share (normal layout)
- Start screen share from the controls bar (not necessarily in stage mode).
- Other participants see your shared screen as a tile or focused view.
- Stop share — the share tile clears for everyone.
Stage-specific share overlay is covered in Stage Mode.
Spotlight and layout
With three or more tiles, spotlight / focus layout should still work: pin or focus a participant so they take primary space while others remain available.
Participant context menu
Depending on your role (room creator, moderator, superadmin):
- Mute, kick, disable video, stop screen share, promote/demote, and similar actions
- Unauthorized actions fail cleanly (no partial privileged state)
See User Roles for the hierarchy and who can moderate.
Room info
The room info panel shows:
- Room name and slug / id
- Approximate participant count
- Other metadata the UI exposes
Transport fallback
On bad networks (browser throttle, blocked UDP), WebRTC may fall back to TURN/TCP/TLS. The UI should surface fallback when designed to do so and must not hard-crash the room.
Operators: WebRTC Connectivity and TURN Server.
Refresh and rejoin
A full browser refresh mid-meeting should re-enter the join path (token refresh if required) without stranding a zombie session forever.
Secure context and permissions
getUserMedia needs a secure context (HTTPS or localhost). Permission banners should appear only when the browser blocks camera/mic access.
