The virtual lobby room

The virtual lobby room

During the whole duration of the sessions, all participants will have the chance to meet with one another in the so-called “virtual lobby room”. The lobby room is a virtual space powered by a video-conference tool called Remo. For a short video-demo, check this: https://youtu.be/AvfjiukhgnE

The lobby room will be reachable by simply clicking on the links that will be provided by the organizers. When connecting for the first time, Remo will ask you to register an account.

 

1) Please, go to https://live.remo.co/ and create an account;

2) Go to the website conference area and click on the “Virtual Lobby” tab.

 

Once you are in the virtual lobby room, you will be automatically assigned to one of the tables, which functions like “breakout rooms”. You will then be able to video-chat only with those who are “sitting” on the same table. Each table will allow for a maximum of 6 people.
 

Once you are in the lobby, you can switch from one table to the other. Other participants’ names will be shown, when with your mouse you will go over one the bubbles, as shown in the picture.

By clicking on “Tile view”, you will be able to switch to alternative views.

While being on one of the tables in the virtual lobby room, you can share your screen or use the whiteboard at your convenience.
