For each room you can configure a welcome message. This is a message that will appear in a pop-up window in the middle of the screen of the user, when entering this room for the first time.

You can use this message to welcome your users or to give more practical information. You can even include a URL in this message.

How to set up a welcome message

Go to the dashboard
Select the event that you're configuring
Go to rooms
Select 'edit in visual editor' of the room in which you want to add a welcome message
Select 'room settings'
Select 'general'
Scroll down to 'Thola logo
Tick the box 'show a pop with a welcome message'
Fill in the next fields
- Title = required
- Message = optional
- URL = optional (here you can integrate a website or video in your message)
  Important: if you're adding a video, make sure that you insert the embed URL

If you edit this message and want the new message to be shown again, you can select the tick box 'force the message to be shown again to everybody on save of the room'.
