What computer “specs” do I need to run Rooms?
Rooms runs in your browser, so as long as your computer is able to run a browser, it will be able to access Rooms. If you encounter issues, ensure that you are running the latest version of your browser. If this does not resolve the issue, you can try another browser or reach out to the Rooms team in the #get-help channel on Discord, or at [email protected] .
What programming language does Rooms use?
Rooms runs on Unity but uses a custom Lua API for scripting—for more information on the API used within Rooms, check out https://rooms.xyz/docs
Can I follow creators?
Sort of, on iOS only. If you navigate to a user’s profile on iOS, you can tap a bell icon next to their avatar. Once you’ve done so, you will begin to receive notifications when that user publishes a new room!
How do I add things to the Thing Library?
To add your thing to the Thing Library, select your thing, then tap/click on the ⬆️icon on the bottom. This will send your thing to our team to undergo the review process. For more information about this process, please take a look at our Thing Library Submission Guidelines
Can I use voxel art created in other platforms?
Definitely! Rooms will accept .vox files. Just drag and drop them into the browser in the room you want on the web or import them into through the media library on iOS. Please make sure you have permission to use any files obtained externally before using them :)
What’s the difference between public and unlisted?
When a room is public, it will appear in feeds, searches, and your profile.
When a room is unlisted, it will appear on your profile (to you only,) but not in feeds or searches.
Please note that a room’s state does not determine its accessibility. This means that even if your room is unlisted, if someone knows the room name/URL, they can still access the room by typing in its unique URL.
Can I showcase my room outside of the room's platform?
Absolutely! Simply use the unique link and share away!
Can I embed my Room in a website?
Unfortunately we do not support embedding externally for Rooms at this time.
Can I make a copy of my room?
Yes! Tap the overflow menu (3 vertical dots), then Save As. You can also do this on desktop by holding the shift key, which will toggle the Save button to Save As. From here you can save your room under a new name. Remember, the original room will still exist (until you choose to delete it!)
Can two people edit a room at the same time?
Unfortunately there is no way to co-op room editing at this time. Some alternative options to consider that we’ve encountered:
- Remixing back and forth, making sure to coordinate such that there is no overlap
- Sharing a throwaway email account
(We know, we know, this means one person has the password, and requires a level of trust, but we have seen it! This one also requires coordination such that you’re not saving over each other while simultaneously accessing the account.)
How do I delete my account?
Fill out the form at rooms.xyz/delete-account. Note that the deletion process takes 24-72h and while you will be able to associate the email address used with a new Rooms account if desired, this will not be possible until the deletion process is completed.
