### Keep a Live Room safe and private

When you create a Meetup, click the **Use Live Room** button to choose if you want to use your default Live Room for the Meetup or create a Private Room by clicking the **Create Private Room** button in the pop-up modal:

Your default Live Room will be accessible to all members of your Community, whereas a Private Room will only be accessible to the Access Group members who are invited to your Meetup.

You also have the ability to lock your room so you can moderate who can join:

* In the live room, click the gear icon to open **Settings** in the top-right corner of the live room.
* In the sidebar of the settings, click **Room**.
* Toggle on/off the Locked room button to lock or unlock your room:

<Note>
  **Note:** It's 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

Yes, you can do all of those with the admin controls. Meetings in both the default Live Room and your Private Rooms can be recorded.

### Record a Live Room

* Click the record button to begin recording.
* Once the meeting is over, click on the record button again to stop recording:

Shorter recordings will appear in your Meetups page in less than 5 minutes. Wait up to 30 minutes for longer recordings.

The recording is currently only supported on a desktop or laptop using the Chrome and Chromium browsers. It is not available on mobile devices and Safari.

* Open the **Products** tab from your Dashboard.
* Select **Community** from the sidebar.
* Click **Go to Community**.
* Open **Meetups** from the left navigation bar.
* Select the **ellipsis** icon next to your Live Room recording date and time indicator.

## Set a default Access Group

You can set a default Access Group, which means the members of that Access Group will automatically get access to your recordings. If you need to change the Access Group, you can do so after the recording is published.

We recommend setting the default Access Group as the most general group.

* Click the **ellipsis (⋯) icon** on your Community cover image, located beside the search bar.
* Select **Community Settings.**
* Click **Meetups.**
* Under **Live Room Recordings Access**, select a **Default Access Group**. If you do not select one, a default group will be automatically assigned.
* The page will save automatically.

## Live Room recording resolution

The resolution of the Live Room recordings is 720p.

## 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

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/kajabi-support/YjW79fe0UPRR7N5a/images/36192753169051.jpg?fit=max&auto=format&n=YjW79fe0UPRR7N5a&q=85&s=3019aa6627f496ffde198ce2f57c949f" alt="36192753169051" width="941" height="427" data-path="images/36192753169051.jpg" />

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.
