How invite links work
The emailed invitation and copied invite link both open the same recording room.
Anyone with the link can join the recording, so share it only with your guests. Each recording room has a unique link that doesn't expire.
Guests enter through the green room to set up their devices before joining.
Note: Treat the invite link like a key to your recording room. Avoid posting it publicly.
