Room Controls
Having a good understanding of the Room Controls and how they work is very important for making sure you, and the others in the Room, have a good experience. Every aspect of the Room and the controls are broken down below.
Room - Refers to the space in which any virtual Event, Livestream, or Meeting is being hosted.
Controls:

This allows you to mute and unmute yourself. You can choose which audio device input you would like to use before joining the Room.

Raise Hand Button:
The Raise Hand button is similar to Reactions, but has a primary use. Aside from letting others know that you have something to say, the Raise hand button allows Audience members to be brought up to Stage.
And Audience member must have their hand raised in order for the Creator or Host(s) to bring them on stage. An Audience member can be brought to stage by clicking the three dots next to their name and selecting "Host" or "Speaker".
A Host has the ability to Mute Speakers, end the Room, Kick others from the Room, as well as Record the event (if they are a pro member), so please make sure the person you bring up as a Host is someone you know, trust, and is supposed to be helping you Host the Event/Livestream.
