Communication Tools

There are several ways to communicate with others and expressing yourself.

  1. Proximity/Spatial Voice Chat toggle: Talk to others near you in the virtual space. Who can hear you is based on your position in the space, like in real life. To unmute yourself click the microphone toggle button or press the spacebar. To mute yourself use the toggle button or the spacebar again.

  2. Speaker mode toggle (admin only): This disables the spatial voice, so everyone in the space can hear you, regardless of the location in the space. Use this for presenting on stage, so everyone can hear you.

  3. Text chat: This chat is bound to the current space you are in. Everything written in the chat can be seen by all users in the current space. You can also have private chats with other users by opening their business card (in your contact list or if you click on an avatar) and clicking the chat button. This chat can only be seen by you and the person you are writing with. See Social Menu for more information

  4. Gestures Use pre-set animations to express yourself. You can for example wave, give a thumbs up or dance. Use the ? button during presentations in case you have a question. Admins will be notified in the Stage Management menu.
