For moderators

A moderator has extra tools for managing participants and securing the room.

• By creating the room – by being the first to enter it and passing through the sign-in window (an eduID sign-in for a protected room, a single click for a public one).
• The role cannot be pre-assigned to a specific person or a specific room. For details see Meeting rooms and sign-in.
• There is usually one moderator – the person who created the room. There are more only when several people pass through the sign-in window (e.g. they open a protected room before anyone starts it). Whoever joins an already-running room is not a moderator.
• A moderator can hand moderator rights to another participant during the meeting from their context menu in the participant list (if the client offers the option).

In the Participants panel each participant has a Mute button and a ••• menu. A muted participant re-enables their own microphone – you cannot force it on.

The participant's ••• menu contains:

• Grant moderator – gives the participant moderator rights.
• Kick out – disconnects the participant (they can return unless the lobby is on).
• Pin to stage – pins the participant to the main area.
• Send private message – a private message in chat.
• Mute everyone else / Turn off everyone else's camera / Stop screen-sharing for everyone else – applies to all participants except this one.

At the bottom of the panel are Mute all and a ••• menu with audio/video moderation (below).

At the bottom of the Participants panel is a Mute all button and a ••• menu next to it. The menu contains:

• Stop everyone's video – turns off every participant's camera at once.
• Allow participants – three toggles for whether participants may unmute themselves, start their video and share their screen. Turn a toggle off and participants can no longer do that themselves – they must “raise their hand” and you grant it.
• More moderation options – further settings.

More actions → Security options:

• Lobby – New arrivals wait until the moderator lets them in. Good for sensitive meetings.
• Add password – Locks the room with a password you share only with participants.
• End-to-end encryption (E2EE) – Optional; supported only by some browsers and it disables server-side features (e.g. the phone gateway).

Careful with public rooms that have a PIN. If the room has a preset PIN (see the Room PIN section), then even if you clear the password in this dialog it is re-applied on the next entry. Only the administrator can remove it permanently.

Open the Participants panel (the toolbar button). At the bottom is the Add breakout room button – shown to moderators only.

1. Add breakout room – create as many as you need.
2. Assign participants from their ••• menu, or automatically.
3. Each breakout room has a Join button and a ••• menu (rename, remove, send participants back to the main room).

Breakout rooms are not protected by the main room's PIN.

• Leave meeting (red button) – only you leave; the meeting continues as long as someone remains.
• If End meeting for all is available, it disconnects every participant and closes the room.
