Create a Private Live Room: 🔒office-hours

Private live rooms are designated rooms that can be used to host many people at once using video. They are “private” because members that want to join the private live room will need to wait in a queue and be allowed in by the room admin 1 by 1. Private rooms are great for smaller groups that need to gather for a specific reason. 

You cannot change the admin of a private room- only the person that creates a Private room can be the administrator of that room.

🔒office hours can be a designated room for an instructor to meet one 1 on 1 with students when office hours are scheduled. Other private live rooms can be created and named as needed.
