Live Rooms in Communities Events
Hosting events in Patient Copilot Communities now includes a built-in Live Room option, making it easier to schedule and run live sessions directly from Community Events. Admins and owners can use Live Room for a native Patient Copilot experience or continue using Zoom, Google Meet, or another custom meeting link. This article explains how Live Room works in Community Events, when to use each location type, and how to set up your next workshop, Q&A, coaching call, or launch event. * * * ## Live Room Experience Live Room gives hosts and members an interactive meeting space connected to the Community Event. This helps keep the live conversation, event context, and follow-up activity close to the Community where members are already engaging. Live Room uses the Go Live meeting experience, which includes: - Video and audio participation
- Speaker and Gallery-style layouts
- Screen sharing
- Real-time chat
- Emoji reactions
- Raise hand
- Host and attendee roles
- Host permissions to manage participant access and session controls!(https://assets.patientcopilot.ai/824575c2ed110e06.png) * * * ## Attendee Join and Registration Experience A clear attendee flow reduces confusion before the event starts. Community Events help members find upcoming events, register, add events to their calendar, receive reminders, and join from the same Community experience. Members can: - Discover events from the group’s Events tab.
- Register for events they want to attend.
- Add events to Google Calendar or iCal.
- Receive in-app notifications and email reminders for upcoming events.
- Join Live Room events directly from the event page.
- Open the configured external link for Zoom, Meet, or Other events. * * * A proper setup helps members quickly understand the event, register, and join from the correct location when the session starts. Live Room uses the standard Community Event creation flow, while Zoom, Google Meet, and custom links remain available for events that need an external meeting platform. 1.

Community Events can be free or paid, and pricing is configured during event creation. Q: Can I restrict who can attend a Live Room event? Yes.
