Once you've added custom Spawn tiles, you can grab the link to the custom location you've made. 

Note: At this time, you can only access the custom Spawn location link through the Calendar feature. If you do not see the Create new event button, you need to add a Space-wide calendar from Space Settings > Space Preferences. Read more on calendar integration.

From your Space (not the Mapmaker), select Calendar in the toolbar. The Schedule (may be labeled Events) pane opens. 

A view of the Space displays. The screenshot Is a hallway in the large conference template. The Calendar icon in the Left Nav Menu is outlined in red, and the Events panel is expanded. At the bottom of the Events panel, the Create new event button is outlined in red. To the right of the panel, the Create new calendar event pop-up displays. The.

Select Create new event. In the Create new calendar event modal, click the Select location drop-down. The name you entered for the Spawn Tile ID (e.g., "keynote") displays, with the room name in parentheses.

When the scheduled event takes place, participants in your Space can open the calendar to see the event and easily navigate to the meeting location by selecting Locate, to follow a dynamic line to the meeting spot, or Teleport, to directly spawn in the meeting spot.  

The Schedule pane is open and shows Keynote Speech from 3:00-4:00 pm in the Keynote area. The session modal is open with Locate and Teleport buttons. Events in Gather that use a custom Spawn location provide options to easily visit the Custom Spawn location.
