Room Privacy

On Airtime, you can create rooms with different privacy settings depending on the type of experience you'd like to have.

Anyone on Airtime can join an Open (Public) room, while Invite Only rooms are private for members and an invite is needed to join. Your friends will be able to find and enter Social rooms.

In any situation, the Room Founders or Admins can always adjust these privacy settings.

Room types: 

• Open (Public) - All Airtime users will be able to find this room and join it without an invite
• Open rooms are visible to all users
• Open rooms are open to all users

• Invite Only (Private) - Nobody will be able to find this room unless you invite them
