What is a Coresee Room?

Modified on Mon, 20 Apr at 4:49 AM

A Coresee room is a persistent, private space for video collaboration. It's where your meetings happen — but it's more than just a meeting. A room holds your files, recordings, participants, and settings between sessions, so everything is ready the next time you meet.

Think of a room less like a one-off video call and more like a dedicated workspace. You create it once, configure it the way you want, and use it repeatedly with the same people and the same media — without needing to set anything up again each time.

Rooms live on your account and are accessible from the homepage at any time, whether or not a session is active.

Rooms are persistent

Unlike a video call link that disappears after use, a Coresee room stays on your account indefinitely until you choose to close it.

Between sessions, the room retains everything that was there before:

Uploaded files and media
Recordings from past sessions
Your participant list and their roles
Branding and appearance settings
Room configuration (access controls, dial-in, expiry)
Chat history

This means you can prepare a room in advance — uploading assets, configuring settings, inviting participants — and everything will be exactly as you left it when the session starts.

ℹ️

Sessions vs. rooms: A session is a single live meeting inside a room. A room can host many sessions over its lifetime. The room persists; sessions come and go.

What's inside a room

Every room is a self-contained workspace. Here's what it holds.

Live Video Session

When active, the room hosts a live video session with all participants on screen. The host controls layout, who can be seen and heard, and what media is presented.

Files & Media

Upload videos, images, and documents to the room. Files persist between sessions and can be organised into folders and playlists. During a session, the host can present files directly to all participants.

Recordings

Record sessions as a full mixed view or as individual participant feeds (ISO). Recordings are stored in the room and can be downloaded, renamed, or shared via link.

Participants

Add participants to the room once and they'll always be on the list. Roles (host, co-host, participant) are assigned per person and persist between sessions.

Live Streaming

Broadcast your room to external platforms via outbound feeds, bring in external streams via inbound feeds, or output over NDI to hardware switchers on your network.

Branding & Appearance

Apply a custom background, logo, and curtain to your room. Choose from multiple video tile layouts. Branding is stored on the room and applies every session.

Roles

Every person in a room has a role. Roles determine what they can see and do — both during a live session and from the homepage.

Role

Host

The room owner. Full control over the session, participants, files, recordings, settings, and branding. Only one host per room.

Role

Co-Host

Elevated participant with most host capabilities — managing participants, recording, media, streaming, and appearance. Assigned by the host. Multiple co-hosts are allowed.

Role

Participant

Standard attendee. Can join the session, view and upload files, download recordings, and interact via chat. Cannot control other participants or room settings.

ℹ️

Guests: Someone can also join a room as a guest — without a Coresee account — by using the room's meeting link. Guests enter under a session nickname and have no persistent access to the room after the session ends.
