Upcoming changes to Meta Horizon Workrooms
On May 30, 2024, we’re rolling out an improved Workrooms experience, including a new room design and a simplified way to create and join meetings. To do this, we’ll need to remove some features and it’s important that you download information from these features before May 30.
We’re improving your experience with:
- An easier way to book meetings: You’ll be able to book a meeting without creating a workroom first. You can directly invite people to the meeting or share a link. You will no longer be able to create a meeting in a workroom.
- Improved access options for meetings: You’ll be able to allow anyone with the link to join your meetings, or restrict access to allow only people who are logged into Workrooms.
- Improved access options for workrooms: You’ll be able to allow anyone with the link to join your workroom, restrict access to allow only people who are logged into Workrooms, or restrict access to only members of the workroom.
- Improved screen sharing: You’ll have a more comfortable viewing experience, no matter where you’re sitting in VR.
- Enhancements to your computer experience in VR: You’ll be able to resize and adjust the height and distance of virtual screens in your personal office. Every adjustment you make will be saved automatically.
- A new VR environment: You’ll experience a new redesigned lake environment any time you join a meeting, or a workroom.
To provide a more streamlined and reliable experience, we’re removing the following features:
- Whiteboards
- Workroom posters, logos, environments and layouts (including breakout and presentation)
- Chat, files and links
- Tracked keyboard
Important: download your information before May 30, 2024
To ensure you don’t lose important information from features that are going away, download your whiteboards, posters, logos, chats, files, and links before May 30. Data from features that are going away won’t be available for download after May 30. Find out how to download your information here.
