Multi-User meetings for 360° Tours
Overview
SENTIO VR makes it easy to run multi-user virtual meetings directly inside 360° tours. Whether you're presenting to a client or collaborating with a remote team, everyone can join the same immersive experience — from a Meta Quest headset or a PC.
Admin-only featureMulti-user meetings can only be started by an admin using their 6-digit account access code (from your account on the web portal). They are not available from the 6-digit code generated for an individual file walkthrough. If you only have a per-file code, contact your account admin to start the session.
How It Works
The host opens a 360° tour and invites others to join in real time. Each participant enters a temporary 4-digit meeting code to access the shared session and is represented by an avatar in the virtual space.
Step 1: Host — Log in with Your Account Code
Multi-user meetings require the host to be logged in with the admin account code, not a per-file walkthrough code.
- Find your 6-digit account code in your profile on the SENTIO VR website.
- Put on your Meta Quest headset and open the SENTIO VR app — or open the SENTIO VR PC app on Windows.
- Enter your 6-digit account code to log in.
Step 2: Host — Open Your 360° Tour
- From the SENTIO VR app, go to 360° Tours.
- Select the project you want to present and enter the tour.
Step 3: Host — Create the Meeting
- Open the VR menu:
- On Meta Quest: press the menu button on the left controller.
- On the PC app: click the menu button in the toolbar.
- Go to the Meeting tab.
- Click Start Meeting.
- A unique 4-digit meeting code is generated for this session.
- Share the 4-digit code with participants (over chat, email, or in-person).
Step 4: Participants — Join the Meeting
Participants do not need an account code — only the 4-digit meeting code from the host. They can join from either device:
- Meta Quest with the SENTIO VR app
- Windows PC with the SENTIO VR desktop app
To join:
- Open the SENTIO VR app and choose Join Meeting.
- Enter the 4-digit meeting code shared by the host.
- Enter your name (this label appears above your avatar).
- You'll enter the tour and appear as an avatar alongside the host and other participants.
Step 5: Talk and Interact
Voice chat is built in. Once participants are in the same meeting, you can hear and speak to anyone in the session — no separate call needed.
- Speak normally; your microphone is active by default.
- Participants are identified by their avatar and name label.
- The host controls navigation between scenes/panoramas — when the host moves to a new view, everyone follows.
What the Host Can Do
While the meeting is running, the host can drive the experience and capture feedback in real time.
- Switch scenes/panoramas — move the entire group between viewpoints in the tour.
- Draw — highlight areas with lines and shapes that all participants can see.
- Annotation (Notes) — drop sticky notes on views to capture comments.
- Screenshots — capture key perspectives during the meeting.
- Reports — download the captured screenshots later via the SENTIO VR web portal.
End the Meeting
- A participant leaves: press the B button on the right controller (Back), then Confirm.
- The host ends the meeting: end the session from the Meeting tab — this closes the meeting for everyone.
