A frame can be on one of two settings:
Single user mode: Where you are the only person viewing the FRAME much like a virtual gallery or museum
Multi user mode: Much more interactive and you are able to talk, chat, screen share and switch on your camera

To speak, unmute your microphone and activate your camera. Once you do so and once you have activated your 'Avatar Cam' (see above), you are ready to speak and show yourself like a regular video conference.
From left to right, there are a few options:
Microphone - If activated (blue), you can speak. If deactivated (red), you will be muted. This space has “spatial” voice or sound features so that if you are farther away from someone, you will not be able to hear that person loud enough. Also, the designer of the room may have activated special voice zones, so that only in some zones of the room will the voice features be available.
Megaphone - If you use it, you can speak anywhere in the room and people will hear you in the space.
Webcam - Allows you to show your camera feed.
Settings - Lets you modify the settings for yourself
You can also add text chat to the space. If you click on the chat box on the top left hand corner of the screen, you will see a dropdown chat box like this one:
As you can see, the chat allows you to send text chats to the whole room.
There is an amazing option to have your text translated into any language 'live'. This feature allows you to type in one language and have the output converted into another.
