Joining a room as a guest

When you are invited to a Louper room, the host will share the room link and, if enabled, the room passphrase with you (this can be via email or message).

In order to join the room:

  1. Click the room link. The link will open in your web browser. Whilst we support all browsers, Chrome is recommended for best performance.
  2. If the room has a passphrase enabled, copy the passphrase from the invitation message and paste it into the Room Passphrase field.
  3. If the room has video or voice chat enabled (most rooms do), you will be prompted by your browser for access to your webcam and / or microphone. Click 'allow' when prompted.
  4. You will see a preview of your webcam (if video chat is enabled) and below it, dropdowns to select different webcam and microphone devices.
  5. Ensure that the correct webcam and microphone devices are selected.
  6. Ensure that the microphone level indicator moves when you speak.
  7. When ready, click Go! and you will join the room. Note that if the host has enabled the Lobby (waiting room), you will only join the room once the host has admitted you.
