Meeting participation ranges from a quick emoji to removing someone from the room. Visual Space keeps those actions together while preserving a clear difference between **expression**, which helps anyone take part, and **room management**, which can change another participant's call. Reactions, raised hands, invitations, participant profiles, Awards, and meeting controls all use the room that is active now. Their availability depends on whether the call belongs to an activity or a direct-message

Meetings bring voice, video, screen sharing, and shared work into the part of Visual Space where a conversation is already happening. An activity or direct-message conversation provides the room, while the surrounding workspace stays available before, during, and after the call. **Continuity is the defining idea.** Joining does not make the meeting a separate destination that takes over your work. You can open the full meeting stage when you want everyone in view, then return to an activity, doc

Meeting rooms keep a call attached to the activity or direct-message conversation where it belongs. Activity meetings and direct-message calls use the same meeting experience for voice, video, screen sharing, reactions, raised hands, invitations, and feedback, but the room's scope still determines who can see it, where it returns, and which collaboration controls are available.

Meeting live apps turn supported workspace content into a selectable feed inside an activity meeting. The group can read, discuss, and work in the relevant app without leaving the call or replacing the surrounding Visual Space context. **A live app is shared meeting content, not a screen share.** It keeps the workspace interactive and gives its own tools room alongside the meeting controls. Cameras, participant audio, screen shares, and other live apps remain available as separate feeds.

Meeting controls keep the essentials close while you are speaking, presenting, or watching someone else. The main call bar handles immediate actions; nearby selectors help you change equipment or choose what to share without leaving the meeting stage. These controls serve different purposes. **Muting changes whether others hear you**, turning off the camera removes your video, stopping a screen share removes only the content you were presenting, and hanging up leaves the meeting altogether.

Meetings brings live conversation and shared work into activities and direct messages without separating the call from the rest of Visual Space. Start with the overview, explore the part of the meeting you need, or follow a complete task from joining through hanging up.

Use Frames on a meeting stage when you want to explore a video sequence without leaving the conversation. You will open or create a Frames project, work with its local timeline tools, move between meeting layouts, and finish without mistaking the project entry for a saved edit.

Use Canvas in an activity meeting to review artwork together or make focused changes without leaving the shared stage. The meeting opens the same durable Canvas file you can use outside the call, so the work remains available after the meeting ends.

This walkthrough takes a Blueprint from an empty, references-first file to a saved CAD-lite design with a closed sketch, a dimension, the supported horizontal constraint, an extruded preview body, a model-linked drawing, and an exported `.svg` sheet. You will also inspect the design, leave review context beside it, and reopen the file to prove that its editable snapshot returned. Blueprints is useful for concept parts, learning, and technical review. **The body, measurements, and drawing remain

This guide helps the active editor make a deliberate choice between keeping a draft editable and publishing its layout entry as permanently read-only. You will export and verify a PNG first, confirm that the current tab still owns editing, publish only when the one-way result is useful, and check the published state afterward.
