The meeting elements are the ones that do something when somebody presses them or walks onto them. Everywhere else in the palette you are placing a picture; here you are placing a seat, a doorway, a pad that throws confetti, or a button that hands everyone a different tool.
This page is the map. Each element has its own short article, so you can link somebody straight to the one they need.
Where to find them
The meeting elements are the palette's Meet band on the palette strip: Navigate, React and Selection Mode, after Write and Frame.
The strip's element search finds and places every one too.
What the categories contain
In each category, every element is a row with its name and a one-line description of what it does, because a glyph cannot say where a Portal goes or what a pad does when you step on it.
- Navigate: the Portal, Bring Focus, the Chair, Desk and Sofa, the Fence, the Avatar Pad, the Link card, and the Virtual Office pieces: rooms, a Stage, a meeting table, plants, a bookshelf, a water cooler, a coffee machine and rugs.
- React: the five Reaction Pads, Confetti, Sparkles, Hearts, Applause and Fireworks.
- Selection Mode: Selection Mode buttons, one per mode, that hand whoever presses them a different tool. Walk In, the button the Spaces templates carry, is the Avatar one.
They are grouped by what the element does with the room rather than by what it looks like. That is why the Portal sits beside the Chair, Bring Focus and the Link card: each takes somebody somewhere (another tab, a seat, one spot on the canvas, or the page the card points at).
Changing one
Most elements here carry a … in their top corner, which opens that element's own menu beside it. It is the same menu a right-click gives you, in the place you are already looking. Bring Focus and the Chair have no …: their faces already say what they do, so right-click them for their settings instead.
Working with them
Each behaves like any other element once placed: select, restyle, and move it freely. A click presses it and a drag moves it, so you can arrange a row of them without setting one off. They keep working while you are in a selection mode that makes the rest of the canvas read-only (Avatar, Spotlight or Isometric), which is the point of a control bar made of them.
On a Participant or Viewer link, Bring Focus is inactive. Selection Mode buttons still switch your own tool, and a Participant can fire Reaction Pads; a Viewer only watches.
Put a Walk In button at a Space's entrance and a Reaction Pad in a room's corner, and the Space carries its own welcome: people walk in, sit down, and celebrate a win without opening a menu.
