Sharing the content:

If you recently added a new URL to your favorite links section or a new file to your Documents Folder section then a great way to notify all of your attendees is via the Send selected files as reference to General Chat. This option will allow you to send one or multiple files and links into the chat room for everyone to see. Performing this action is simple.

1. For example, open the Documents Folder and select the file(s) and/or link(s) you wish to share with everyone in the room, by ticking the check-box. 
2. Once the file(s) are selected, simply click the small circle icon with double arrows, to share it in the general chat. 
3. Attendees will see an access link appear in their chat window (General chat window).
