2. In the settings sidebar, click **Room**.
3. Toggle **Locked room** on or off to lock or unlock your room.

<Note>
  **Note:** It is good practice to keep this room locked as often as possible, both during a meeting and away from your room. This allows you to stay safe, and avoid unwanted guests.
</Note>

Screen sharing, breakout rooms, and recording are all available through the admin controls in both the default Live Room and Private Rooms.

### Record a Live Room

1. Click the **Record** button in the Live Room toolbar to begin recording.
2. When recording is active, the **Record** button turns red and displays a timer showing the recording duration. A red dot indicator also appears at the top of the screen to confirm recording is in progress.

</Tip>

## Understanding Meetup Notifications

**Community notifications are sent out in three ways:**

* Emails
* In-app notifications (in your notification center)
* Mobile notifications (push notifications)

**Notifications are controlled two ways:**

* On an individual basis, in an individual's profile settings
* By you, the Hero, at the community level in community settings

We recommend posting a countdown on your social platforms for more meetup visibility.

## FAQs

### Are there any limits to how many people can be in a Live Room?

You can host up to 200 concurrent people inside your Community Live Room.

Additionally, you can have up to 25 camera feeds on at the same time in a Live Room (24 participants and 1 local/self camera feed). Participants can still stay in the room and interact via audio and chat.

Screen sharing does not count toward the camera limit.

### What happens when someone else tries to turn their camera on after the limit is reached?

That participant will see a message indicating that the maximum number of cameras are active in this call. As soon as someone using video turns their camera off, another participant can turn theirs on.
