How it works
Security decisions live with the room they protect.
Protected Rooms combines identity, invitation, password, and host context so teams can understand who can enter and why.
01
Choose the access model
Set public, authenticated, invited, or password-protected expectations.
02
Share the right invitation
Send a room link with clear entry requirements.
03
Verify participant state
Let hosts see the people present and the media state they publish.
04
Close the session cleanly
Remove presence and live media when the room or participant leaves.

Operational outcomes
What changes for the team.
The value appears in the handoff between a live room and the work that continues afterward.
01
Deliberate entry
A room can require more than possession of an unqualified link.
02
Host confidence
The host can read participant and access state from one surface.
03
No stale presence
Room membership and video tiles clear when the session ends.
Control layer
Designed for clear responsibility.
The product surface keeps access, ownership, and durable context visible so teams can make deliberate choices.
Host-controlled admission
Room-level policy
Guest identity context
Recoverable access paths
Connected products
Continue through the same workspace.
These capabilities share the room, participant, and follow-up context around this workflow.
Guest Access
Invite customers, partners, and occasional collaborators through a focused path that does not blur guest and member access.
Room Passwords
Add a room-specific secret to invitations that need another admission boundary beyond the link itself.
Privacy Controls
Make camera, microphone, retention, access, and sharing choices visible at the point where they matter.
