Creating a Personal Meeting Room

As of version 1.0.7, FarPlay features Personal Meeting Rooms, allowing you to use a permanent, dedicated session ID for all your sessions. You still have the option of creating a one-time session ID if you prefer. This feature is particularly useful for teachers, who can give students their Personal Meeting Room ID once and keep using it for as many sessions as you’d like.
  1. To use Personal Meeting Rooms, first go to farplay.io/myAccount, then click Account Preferences.
  2. If you’re subscribed to either Standard or Standard+, you’ll find an option in the Account Preferences page:

  1. Click “Create my Personal Meeting Room”, and you’ll be given a session ID that is permanent and unique to you.
  2. If, for whatever reason, you wish to change it, you can simply delete it and create a new one.
  3. Once you’ve created a Personal Meeting Room, you’ll notice that a menu now appears when you click New Session in the FarPlay app, allowing you to choose between using your Personal Meeting Room or a one-time session ID:
