With SignalWire Work, there is no separate client software to install, and you can work from any desktop, laptop, or mobile device with a modern Web browser. In addition, client-side system requirements are kept to a minimum, as SignalWire Work does all the "heavy lifting" in the cloud.

Question 5

System Settings: Rooms

Accepted Answer

Like a physical office, SignalWire Work also has the concept of different rooms in its virtual office environments.

In SignalWire Work, a room is where people gather. Most rooms are like physical conference rooms where people speak collaboratively in meetings.

In addition, there are also concepts in rooms that are more like "open offices" where people choose to sit in the same place but are working independently. SignalWire Work features a capability called “Do not disturb” where people establish their presence in the room, but cannot hear or be heard unless they want to join in or if someone “knocks” on their screen.

There are also room types, which include studios for podcasts, or even fun spaces where people can watch videos together at a distance.

Like a physical room, room moderators can "lock the door," preventing other participants from entering. Similarly, room moderators can set a PIN to restrict entry.

In SignalWire Work, rooms can have a name or even an extension number for easy telephone dial-ins.

Just like a physical office, some rooms can be made visible to others. For example, during an "open house," it might be useful to direct external visitors to certain meetings by advertising those rooms on the Home Screen.

How to Create Rooms

Click System Menu
Click System Settings
Click the Rooms tab
