Keep your InSpace sessions secure and controlled with this simple locking feature.
Breakout rooms are an essential feature of InSpace for collaborative learning and communication. However, sometimes hosts may need to restrict access to breakout rooms to maintain a secure and controlled environment. This article will explain how hosts and co-hosts can lock and unlock breakout rooms in InSpace and control who enters the room. Hosts and co-hosts can lock and unlock breakout rooms so others cannot enter without permission.
In a web browser, hosts and co-hosts can easily lock and unlock breakout rooms in InSpace. This allows them to restrict access to any of the breakout rooms during a class or session. To lock a room, the host or co-host needs to click the ‘Lock’ button on top of any breakout room, such as the Discussion Room, Presentation Room, or Breakout rooms. Once the room is locked, participants cannot enter without the host's permission. Instead, they must knock to request entry into the room.
Hosts and co-hosts will receive a notification of the user requesting to join the room and can approve or decline the request. Participants will also receive a notification when they are admitted or denied access to the room. Hosts and co-hosts can easily unlock the room to allow participants to enter at any time.
Note that the student space offered in all LMS integrations allows students to lock one room at a time.
InSpace breakout rooms offer a collaborative learning environment for students, but sometimes, hosts need to control and secure access to the rooms. By using the lock feature in InSpace, hosts and co-hosts can easily control access and maintain a secure and controlled environment for their InSpace sessions.
