Creation & Management#

Create Rooms#

OpenVidu Meet internal users with permissions to create and manage rooms can create a new room directly from the "Rooms" page in the OpenVidu Meet console. Each room requires a name and can be customized with Advanced Setup options:

  • Set up an auto-deletion date and configure auto-deletion policies.
  • Enable/disable features like recording, chat, virtual backgrounds, and E2EE (end-to-end encryption).
  • Configure default permissions for each role (Moderator and Speaker).
  • Enable/disable anonymous access for each role.

Edit Rooms#

Modify room settings anytime from the Rooms page, as long as no meeting is currently active. You can update:

  • The room name.
  • The auto-deletion date and auto-deletion policies.
  • Enable/disable features like recording, chat, virtual backgrounds, and E2EE (end-to-end encryption).
  • Default permissions for each role (Moderator and Speaker).
  • Anonymous access settings for each role.

List Rooms#

The Rooms page lists every available room and lets administrators:

Delete Rooms#

Rooms can be deleted individually or in bulk from the Rooms page. Deleting a room removes it and all associated data.

Room auto-deletion#

Rooms can be configured with an auto-deletion date. You can set this date when creating or editing a room. This helps keeping OpenVidu Meet clean and organized, avoiding clutter from old rooms that are no longer needed.

Room auto-deletion policies#

When the auto-deletion date is reached, the room will be deleted. The Auto-deletion policies determine how to handle active meetings and stored recordings when attempting to delete the room:

  • Active meetings policy
    • Force: the meeting will be immediately ended without waiting for participants to leave, and the room will be deleted.
    • When meeting ends: the room will be deleted after the active meeting ends.
  • Recordings policy
    • Force: the room and all its recordings will be deleted.
    • Close: the room will be closed instead of deleted, maintaining its recordings.
