How do I host a Live Room through the Videoportal?
When hosting through the video portal, each channel is set to 'Private' by default. This means that all students must be invited to the channel as a member.
The faculty video coordinator can help invite all students in large numbers, as long as you can provide the ULCN account names or email addresses in a list.
If anyone with a ULCN account can access your channel and the Live Room, you can also set the channel to Restricted.
