+ | Creating a room is pretty straightforward. You can do this from two locations, the Room Explorer (public assumed) and the + (private assumed) next to Rooms on the left-hand side. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you create a room from the Room Explorer the following screen appears as it will assume its a public room, it allows you to set the room name, the topic, whether it will show in the explorer or not, the room address / alias, and under Advanced whether or not you want users from servers other than afternet.org to be able to join (this can only be enabled, not disabled) | ||

+ | If you use the + to create a new room it will assume you are attempting to make a private room so the following screen will appear. In addition to making it public or blocking remote homeserver users it will also default to enabling encryption on the room. Encryption and remote homeserver are one-time options and cannot be changed after they are set. | ||
