Create and Join Rooms
Create a New Room
To create your own room click "Create a Room". Your new space is private; no one else can join until you invite them.
Join an Existing Room
You can join an existing Hubs room using either a URL or a numeric code. If you have a URL, navigate to the URL in your browser.
Enter a Room
Before entering a Hubs room you are in the room's lobby. You can see and hear what's going on in the room but you can only interact with the others using text chat. The process of entering a room is a bit different depending on your device.
On Desktop / Mobile
Click "Enter Room" and follow the prompts to select a username/avatar and set up your mic. On the final prompt select "Enter on Screen", or "Enter on Phone" if on mobile.
On a Standalone VR Headset
If you opened the URL on your desktop or smartphone, choose "Enter on Standalone VR" to create a code that makes it easy to open on your standalone headset (e.g., Oculus Quest, Oculus Go, Samsung Gear).
On a Wired-in VR Headset
To use a desktop VR device with your headset, the Oculus app (Oculus Rift) or SteamVR (Windows Mixed Reality, Vive) must also be open.
On your computer, click "Enter Room" and follow the prompts to select a username/avatar and set up your mic. On the final prompt before entering you should see an option to select "Connected VR Headset".
