A Scootaverse room has three modes:
  • Mingle Mode: everyone moves around the room and talks in small audio groups.
  • Presentation Mode: up to four presenters are on stage and everyone else is in the audience. The host decides how the audience can participate.
  • Meeting Mode: a collaborative meeting with equal participation. Everyone is on stage together, like a video call, so it suits sales meetings, demos and small team calls.
Availability depends on your plan and account settings.

​
Start Meeting Mode

From inside a room, do one of these:
  • Click the presentation button in the toolbar (tooltip Start Presentation) and choose Meeting Mode.
  • Open the options menu and click Meeting Mode.
While Meeting Mode is on, mingle activities such as toasts, ice breakers and room music are turned off.

​
In a meeting

Each person appears in a tile. Hosts can open the three-dot menu on a tile to: Everyone in Meeting Mode counts as a presenter, so there is no Leave as Presenter button. A host ends the meeting and returns everyone to the room with Go to Mingle Mode or Send Everyone to Mingle, depending on the version you see.

​
Set the mode people enter in

Hosts can choose which mode people are in when they enter a Scootaverse.
  1. In Scoot Home, open the Scootaverse and go to its settings.
  2. Under Default Entering Mode (“Select the default mode for users entering this Scootaverse”), choose Mingle Mode, Presentation Mode or Meeting Mode.
You can’t change this setting while the Scootaverse is open. A room’s advanced settings also have a Default Entering Mode option for that room.

​
The Start Presentation window

On some accounts, Start Presentation opens a step-by-step window instead of a menu. Click Next to move through the steps, Back to change an earlier answer, and Start Presenting at the end.
  1. Where do you want to present? Choose To My Group (your audio group only), To This Room or To All Rooms (connected rooms). For a room presentation, also choose an option under How should the audience participate? See Audience settings.
  2. What type of presentation? Choose Presentation (“Traditional presentation with audience controls”) or Meeting Mode (“Collaborative meeting with equal participation”). This step only appears when Meeting Mode is available.
  3. Who do you want to present? Tick Me to present yourself, and use Search and add co-presenter(s) to add others. The window shows how many of the four presenter slots are left.
  4. What do you want to share? Choose one:
    • Just Present: present without sharing any content.
    • My Screen: share your screen, window or tab. Turn on Optimize for video playback if you are sharing a video.
    • A YouTube Video or A Vimeo Video: paste the video’s URL.
    • A Live Stream: set up an HLS or RTMP stream. See Live streaming in Scoot.
Group presentations always share a screen, so for To My Group the last step is Select your screen to share.
