Access Controls

Room codes can be used to ensure that only the participants who are meant to be viewing the displayed content will be able to do so. Participants won't accidentally start sharing content to the wrong Display and classes won't be interrupted by somebody connecting accidentally.
There are three options for accessing a Display in a Room.

Normal – No on-screen code appears. Users can simply join the room.
Room Code – Users enter a four-digit code in their Vivi App to join a room, which will overlay on-screen should another presenter try and join the room while someone is presenting.
Open Access – Any user can connect to the Display without needing permission from a presenter. This is great for shared spaces like libraries and common rooms.

Please note: These settings can be temporarily overridden by the active presenter on the "Room Settings" page.
