1. Select Create new event in the bottom right Calendar icon. In the Create new calendar event modal, click the Select location drop-down. The name you entered for the Private Area ID (e.g., "keynote") displays, with the Note: Some Spaces are designed as an individual Map with multiple 'rooms' as indicated by walls and doors. When we refer to a Room, we are referring to a separate Map that has been connected to a Space. For more detailed instructions, check out our Private Area Tiles article.
2. When you enter a private area, your participants sidebar will change to reflect the area you are in. Next to the name of the area, you will see an option to copy a specific private meeting area link.

Member vs. Guest

In Remote Work Spaces, you can invite people to your Space as Members or Guests. When you first enter a Remote Work Space, you may be prompted to invite others. Otherwise, you can send invites from the Main menu, from Participants, or by heading to Space Settings or your Space dashboard and opening User Roles. Read User Roles & Permissions for more details.  

To invite someone to a remote work Space, you must choose whether they will be a Member or a Guest. 

Members

• You can send an invite to a Member via email or by copying the link to your Space. 
• The email invitation and the invitation link for Members expire automatically after 30 days.
• A Member must have a Gather account.

Guests

1. Guests now have an icon above their avatar, so its easier for everyone to identify when they’re walking through your Space
2. You get to see the same icon next to their name in the Participants Panel. This means it is now even easier to keep track of guests in your Space
3. When guests join in using the meeting link, they automatically enter Meeting View, which is a great way to ease them into your office!
4. Guests revisiting your space will respawn in the lobby (your default spawn location) after 12 hours of first clicking your Space link
