How to use SynergyXR for PC

1B - How to join a session

Firstly you need to login.

After having logged in you need to chose your work space, if prompted.

Now you choose your name of this session.

This would also be a good time to select your avatar - see more on "1E - How to choose an avatar".

Now press continue.

On this screen you can choose between starting a new session or choosing one active session on the list.

HOT TIP: If it has a password on it, contact the creator to be informed of the password.

1C - How to create a session?

When you want to create a session follow the first five steps of "1B - How to join a session?".

Then locate the "Create Session" button.

Once clicked you can choose between loading a room available or loading a previously saved space on the workspace.

TOP TIP: The rooms saved will have the name that you choose for your session. You can duplicate the room afterwards.

1D - How to load a previously saved space?

When you want to load a previously saved space follow the steps of "1C - How to create a session?".

But instead of choosing "Create new space", simply press "Load space".

1E - How to choose an avatar?

When you want to choose an avatar all you have to do is walk over the avatar selection screen where you can choose your face, hair style, hair color, skin tone and color of your clothes.

NOTE: The only time you can choose your avatar is in the SynergyXR lobby. So to change avatar you need to quit your session and return to the lobby.
