One shared room in your browser

Create a room.
Open the door.
Talk.

Create or join a browser-based room for friends, family, gaming groups, clubs, or anyone who wants one shared place to chat.

No complicated setup. Choose a Room, enter a nickname, and start talking.

Start here

Open the door

Create a Room or join one you have been invited to. That is the whole basic setup.

More room options
Three simple steps

You can be chatting in moments

Joining as a participant does not require owner controls or advanced settings.

  1. 1

    Choose or open a Room

    Enter a Room name or follow a shared invitation.

  2. 2

    Add the Room details

    Use the Room password when required and choose your nickname.

  3. 3

    Start chatting

    Press Join and enter the shared Room. That is all you need to learn.

It is simpler than it sounds

You do not have to learn every feature.

If someone gives you a Room name and password, enter them, choose a nickname, and press Join. Everything else is optional.

Inside a Room

One shared place for the conversation

Start in the Main Room. The rest is there when your group wants it.

Live conversation

Talk together in one familiar message stream.

Photos and GIFs

Reserved Rooms can share photos; Room settings can allow GIFs.

Reactions

Respond without interrupting the conversation.

Keep your place

Unread markers and optional alerts point to new activity.

Easy movement

Move between Room areas without leaving the group.

Optional Room areas

Watch and listen together

Move into Theater or Music without leaving the Room or losing the Main conversation.

Theater

Share supported YouTube, Vimeo, or Twitch video in a Reserved Room.

Music

Use supported YouTube, SoundCloud, or Spotify links in the Music area.

See a real JoinRooms layout

This is an example, not a live Room. Use Tab to try Main, Theater, and Music, then continue through the page.

The interface is real. The conversation and members are examples, and nothing here is sent.

Access that fits the Room

Listed or unlisted. Simple or protected.

Temporary Rooms normally use a password. Reserved Room owners can choose password, open, or knock entry and may publish an optional listing.

Room password

Participants use it when required. It is separate from the Owner PIN.

Controlled entry

A protected Room can ask visitors to knock and wait for approval.

Optional listing

A listing shows basic Room information, never the messages.

Understand privacy and accessRead safety guidance

Optional controls

Simple for participants. More control for owners.

Owner credentials are not part of ordinary joining. They are there when a Room needs management.

  • Owner, co-owner, and staff roles
  • Knock approvals and Room protection
  • Participant removal and Room bans
  • Photo, GIF, and Room settings

Common questions

The short answers

      Create Your Owner PIN

      Your purchase is confirmed. Create the Owner PIN you will use to manage this Room.

      This is your Owner Recovery Key.

      This key is stronger than your Owner PIN.

      If your Owner PIN is ever compromised, this key allows you to reclaim ownership of your room.

      JoinRooms cannot display this key again after setup.

      Store it somewhere safe.

      
            

      This is the only time JoinRooms will display your Owner Recovery Key.

      If you lose both your Owner PIN and this Recovery Key, you may permanently lose the ability to recover ownership of this room.

      Are you sure you want to continue?

      This is your Owner Recovery Key.

      Save this key somewhere private. JoinRooms cannot retrieve it for you.

      
          

      Recover Room Ownership

      Use the Owner Recovery Key you saved when this Room was activated.
