Upload and Open Content in the Room (Mobile)

Upload documents such PDF files and images to enhance communication and work on projects together in the virtual room. You can also create typepads or sketchpads, or upload the link of a YouTube video to watch it together in the room.

After uploading or creating content, you can also rename or delete them.

Note that if you do not have the admin permission to "Rename, create/upload any content in the main room without host approval", you cannot upload files into the Room Library. You can only upload files into your desk.

Upload Documents

Before uploading the document, you may want to check if you wish to upload it into the room library or your personal desk. This is just to keep the library more organised for you when you are looking for the files later.

Tap the nine square menu button at the top left of the screen.

Tap the '+' icon at the bottom of the screen to open a new tab.

Select PDF/Image under New in the pop-up window that appears.

Tap  Select files to open the system file explorer to select a file. 

Note that the supported file types for upload are .png, .jpg, .pdf and .gif. Microsoft office files e.g. Word documents, Powerpoint slides, Excel sheets (.doc, .ppt, .excel etc.) are not supported. You can first convert them into PDF files before uploading.

Tap  Upload to upload the files into the library. Then tap Done.

If your file size is larger than 100Mb, you will not be able to upload your file. Please check out this article to reduce your file size.

The newly uploaded file will be automatically opened in a new tab. It will retain the original name of the file which was uploaded.

Opening Documents from the Library

Similar to previously, if you do not have permission to "Create a new tab" in the room, you will not see a '+' icon after tapping the menu button. You can only open new tabs in your desk.

The newest or most recently modified file will be shown at the top of the list below All Contents.  Select the file to call it out from the Library. 

You can search for a particular file by clicking and typing the file's name into the searchbar. 

You can also filter the files that are shown by clicking the filter icon at the right end of the searchbar and selecting the Content type you wish to search for.
