Collaboration Mode:

There is a complete page made for collaboration through this link, but we will give a brief explanation here.

Whether you want to run the experience in desktop mode or VR mode, you can start a collaboration lobby if you want to invite others to join you in the same run.

To start a collaboration lobby press the Start Collaboration button highlighted in the image below

This will create a lobby from which you can do a variety of actions, the most important one being inviting others, which can be done in two ways:

1- You can invite others by adding contacts you have in your Contacts list (refer to this page to learn about contacts), the button to add contacts is highlighted in the image below

2- The second method is sending an Invitation Link, which you can send to other users to directly join you through, this is highlighted and labeled in the image below

Picking the platform in which you want to start the collaboration run with is also done from inside this dialog, using the Desktop and VR buttons seen in the image, and once loading the scene is over and everyone is in the lobby and are also done with loading, you can click the Start button to run the scene.

Other important options and elements in this dialog are highlighted and labeled in the image below
