Create a room

Create a new room

A room is where your meetings happen. Each room keeps its canvas, chat, and members, so you can come back to it later. You create rooms from the Your rooms page, which is the first page you see after you log in.

Create a room and stay on the list

1. Go to Your rooms.
2. Click Create new room.
3. In Room name, type a name (the field says Enter room name).
4. Click Create room (or press Enter).
5. A Room created message confirms it. Click Continue. The new room now appears in your list.

Create a room and go straight in

1. On Your rooms, click Create and join new room.
2. Type the Room name.
3. Click Create and join. Pactto creates the room and opens it.

You become the room's owner and are added to it, so it shows up in your list right away.

If something goes wrong

• Room title is required: the name field was empty. Type a name and try again.
• If you already own as many rooms as your plan allows, the room is not created and Pactto tells you that you reached the limit. Depending on your account, clicking Create new room may open your plan options instead. See Plans and limits.
• Any other error from the server is shown in the dialog. If your session expired, Pactto sends you to the login page.

Good to know

• If you have no rooms yet, the list shows No rooms yet with a short prompt to create one.
• You can rename the room or change its logo later. See Find, rename, and delete rooms.
• To bring other people in, use Share inside the room or the + (Add participant) button in the room list. See Invite people.
