Design Mode & Meeting Mode

PreviousCreate a boardNextShare your board

Last updated 1 year ago

Metro Retro boards have two modes, Design Mode and Meeting Mode.

Design Mode is for editing the board layout, and Meeting Mode is for collaborating with others. Each mode has a unique set of controls available, and the left toolbar changes to give you the appropriate tools for each.

When you start Meeting Mode on a board, you become the Host and get access to at the top of the board. Everyone else becomes a participant and cannot edit the board layout.

As the Host, switch to Design Mode at any time to edit the board layout. Everyone else remains in Meeting mode while you make your changes.

Meeting Mode controls

The controls shown at the bottom of the screen in Meeting Mode are dependent on the settings enabled in the Host controls.
