Introduction to Rooms

Introduction to Rooms and their main features

Rooms are the dynamic domains where collaboration and communication come to life. Whether you’re chatting with a colleague, hosting a virtual meeting, or broadcasting to a global audience, Rooms offer the flexibility to tailor your interactions to your needs.

Types of Rooms

Rooms on Pivot are categorized into three main types based on their structure and functionality:

Direct Rooms

Private, one-on-one rooms designed for focused communication. These rooms are divided into the following formats:

• Chat: For text-based conversations, sharing quick updates, and ongoing discussions.
• Video: For face-to-face communication, ideal for virtual meetings or check-ins.
• Audio: For voice-only discussions, perfect for brainstorming or quick calls.

Group Rooms

Rooms created for a group of members, independent of any space. These are divided into:

• Chat: For group text conversations, facilitating collaborative discussions.
• Post: Structured for topic-specific threads, similar to forums, where group members can engage in detailed discussions.
• Video: For virtual group meetings, presentations, or collaborative sessions.
• Audio: For voice-based team discussions, brainstorming, or casual conversations.

Space Rooms

Rooms created within an existing Space, functioning as blocks accessible to all members of the space. These are divided into:

• Chat: Enables space members to hold ongoing text discussions.
• Post: Allows for topic-specific threads to organize and streamline conversations.
• Video: Facilitates team meetings, presentations, or collaborative sessions within the Space.
• Audio: Used for voice-only discussions, ideal for team calls or brainstorming.
• Streaming: Designed for live broadcasts to the entire Space, such as webinars or events.

Rooms are crafted for adaptability. Imagine starting your day with a quick brainstorming session in an audio room, transitioning to a video room for a presentation, and wrapping things up with a structured discussion in a post room. Pivot’s rooms evolve with your workflow, making collaboration intuitive and streamlined.
