How to start a room

Rooms are where live professional conversations happen. You can start one instantly or schedule it for later.

Steps

  1. Tap Start Room from the bottom navigation on mobile or the left rail on desktop. To plan ahead, choose Schedule Room.
  2. Choose public, unlisted, or community-only visibility.
  3. Add a clear title, topic, and optional category so the right people find it.
  4. Tap Invite to share the link — Post to LinkedIn opens a ready-made post, or copy the link anywhere else.
  5. For a scheduled room, guests wait in a lobby. When you're ready, tap Start room now and everyone waiting moves in automatically.
  6. Everyone except the host joins in the audience with their mic off. Listeners raise a hand; hosts and co-hosts invite them up. Up to 15 people can be on stage.

Room tools for hosts

  • Speaker timer — scroll minutes and seconds (5-second steps), then tap Start.
  • Pinned links — keep a resource at the top of the room.
  • Watch party — search YouTube or paste a link to play a video for everyone.
  • Donate — verified nonprofits can pin their donation link. Donations go directly to the nonprofit's own page.
  • Recording (Premium) — download the audio, transcript, and summary within 48 hours, after which the raw recording is deleted.
