In the Webinato platform, it is easy to customize the look and functionality of your room before launching it by using the Modify Room Settings link from your main Admin Page:


This page contains settings to change how guest attendees login, how chat and other modules function, and also the general layout of the room. In order for you to have the best experience with the platform, it is very important for you to go through the settings on this page and understand what they do and how they affect your attendees webinar experience.


Room Access

These settings deal with how your guest attendees will access your room outside of scheduled events.

  • Room Name: Sets a descriptive name for your room.
  • Short room URL: Lets you set an easy-to-remember short name for your room.
  • Guest Attendee Password: Lets you set a password for guest access, if desired. Leave this blank to disable the password requirement.
  • Login Announcement: Can be used to set a message that is displayed at the top of the room login page.
  • Require Phone Number at Login: Adds a new field to the login page requiring the user's phone number.

Room Functions

Here is where you set how your room works, from what modules you have active to how you want your attendees to view the room, and so on. This section is broken up as follows:

  • Chat Options: Allows you to manage how chat works for all participants, including enabling or disabling chat tabs.
  • Audio Notifications: Allows you to set which actions trigger an Audio Notification for your participants.
  • Show Documents Folder: Enables or Disables the Documents Folder functionality in your room
  • Status Indicator: Allows you to set what status icons are available to your participants.
