What is the "Room"? That's a first good question to ask! The Room is everything you can see from the moment you enter a Livestorm virtual event.

Our squad is the one working to build the best video conference experience you can have with online events!

• We want customers to feel confident when they're joining an event by making sure they won't have any audio / video issues.
• We want customers to be able to manage and moderate what's happening during their event.
• We want customers to be able to properly communicate with their audience through features like chat, questions, polls and others.
• And more importantly, we make sure our customers aren't experimenting issues while talking with their own audience.

As part of the Room Squad, you'll be able to work on a product you will use on a daily basis!
