Video Rooms

Use Pivot video rooms for face-to-face communication, presentations, and collaboration. Learn audio/video configuration, background effects (blur or image), chat side view, pinning participants, and working with recordings, transcripts, comments, chapters, and clips.

Video rooms are designed for face-to-face communication, presentations, and collaborative discussions. Whether you’re hosting a team meeting, sharing visual updates, or brainstorming ideas, video rooms provide a practical environment for engaging and productive interactions.
