Sidebar and Whisper Rooms
The idea of this feature is that a participant can say something to another participant of the same conference without everyone in the conference hearing them. This concept is not critical for starting to use the library. Feel free to return to this concept when you need to have side conversations from the main conference.
How do these rooms work?
- A participant who is not in any whisper or sidebar room will be considered to be in the main room.
- A participant in the main room will only hear sources that are also not in any whisper or sidebar room.
- A participant in the main room will only act as a source for listeners in the main room or listeners in any whisper room.
- A participant in a whisper room will hear all sources from the main room and all sources in the whisper room.
- A participant in a whisper room will act as a source only for listeners in the same whisper room.
- A participant in a sidebar room will hear only sources in the same sidebar room.
- A participant in a sidebar room will act as a source only for participants in the same sidebar room as them.
- A participant in both a whisper room and a sidebar room will hear all sources from the sidebar room and all sources in the whisper room.
- A participant in both a whisper room and a sidebar room will act as a source only for listeners in the same whisper room.
