FAQ

Setup questions

Do I need my own meeting account?+

Yes. You bring the meeting account and licence you already have; BrandedRooms hosts that meeting on your page. Your settings, your recordings, your plan — billed by your meeting provider, not by us.

How many people can join a room?+

Everyone inside your room counts toward your meeting licence's participant limit — commonly 100, 300, 500 or 1,000. Your room warns you as you approach it. For bigger audiences, add a large-meeting or webinar licence or run an overflow livestream.

Do I need a meeting passcode?+

Your meeting needs a passcode or a waiting room. We recommend keeping the passcode on and saving it in your room settings — guests never type it, the room passes it for them — and turning the platform's own waiting room off, because your branded lobby does that job.

Why do guests see “meeting has not started”?+

Your guests are waiting for the host to start the meeting. With your meeting account connected, the Go Live button in your dashboard starts the meeting as host inside the page and opens the doors in one press. Without the connection, the host has to start the meeting in the meeting app first.

Do I need the desktop meeting app to host a branded room?+

No. BrandedRooms is self-contained: after a one-time connection of your meeting account, you host from your own dashboard — your video, host controls and party controls in one place, with no second window.

Which meeting platform does BrandedRooms work with?+

BrandedRooms hosts meetings you run on Zoom, using your own Zoom account and licence through Zoom's Meeting SDK. You bring the account; BrandedRooms never resells it. BrandedRooms is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Zoom Communications, Inc. (formerly Zoom Video Communications, Inc.).
