This article will take you through how to join a room that has already been created by a colleague in OMS: Interprofessional.

**Note: to join the same room as your colleagues, you'll need to make sure you have all installed the same version of the OMS software**.

This video will guide you through the process of joining a room:

When you first launch OMS Interprofessional, you enter a virtual classroom. The center screen in the room allows you to join a room. If a colleague has created a room, you will see it on this list. Click the room name and then click Join Room.

Next, select which avatar that you would like to use in the scenario. This is how others will see you in the virtual space. Click the thumbnail of your choice.

You then select your role in the scenario.

Lead and Assisting are active participants and can perform actions in the scenario.

Observers primarily watch the scenario unfold, but do have the option to mute/unmute themselves and make their avatar visible/invisible.

Once you have selected your role and other participants have joined, click Ready to lock in your selection.

If you are an Observer, use the Visible and Microphone checkboxes to choose to be visible/unmuted or not at the start of the session.

Your colleague that created the room will select Start to begin the scenario.
