Megaphone
Use the megaphone feature to stream your video / audio / screen to anyone from anywhere in the map.
This feature will typically be reserved to administrators and moderators that will be able to broadcast a message to all participants in the map.
Configuring the megaphone
To configure the megaphone feature in WorkAdventure, follow the steps below. Please note that access to the map editor is required to perform these configurations.
Megaphone settings will affect the entire map.
- Open the map editor.
- Click the "configure my room" icon. A configuration modal will appear.
- Navigate to the megaphone tab.
- Toggle the megaphone on or off.
- Assign a unique name to your megaphone.
- Define the scope of your megaphone. The scope can be set as "room" or "world". If you choose "room", the megaphone's range will be limited to the current room. If you select "world", the megaphone's reach will extend across multiple rooms. Individuals in any room configured with the same "space name" will be able to hear you when the megaphone is enabled.
- Manage the megaphone's usage by applying rights restrictions. You can limit the megaphone's access to specific users or user groups using tags.
How do I use the megaphone?
Click the megaphone icon in the action bar. One click will enable the megaphone, and a second click will disable it.
