Whether you've been invited via email or just with a link via text or some other messenger, you will have the same experience. Follow along below as we take you through what to expect.

After clicking the invite, you'll be prompted to confirm or change your camera, mic, and speaker sources before joining the Greenroom, where you'll spend the duration of the broadcast.

Upon joining the Greenroom, you'll see other guests who have joined and more. Let's take a closer look below:

1 & 2. Guest Video Feeds: All guests in the Greenroom will be able to see each other.

3. Muted: When guests are muted, this icon will appear next to their name.

4. Connection Quality: Allows guests to monitor the quality of their connection. If their internet is slow or slowing down at any point in the stream they will notice fewer bars and get help to try and improve the connection.

5. Guest Chat: a text-based chat that is only viewable to Effi users and guests. The audience watching your stream will not be able to see private chat messages.

6. Mic Mute/Unmute: where guests can mute/unmute their mics.

7. Camera On/Off: where guests can turn their cameras on and off. Should a guest turn off their camera, they and everyone in the Greenroom will see an avatar in its place.

8. Guest Settings: menu where guests can see their details and change camera and mic sources.

9. Element Live Preview: If there is an element live in the scene like a poll or meter, guests will be able to see it in the Greenroom as well.

10. Audience Chat: guests will be able to see all incoming chat messages from all the platforms you are streaming to.

11. Help: like users, guests will have access to our help center and support from the Effi team.
