Creating a room
When you create your room you can set many initial options. Here are explanations of a few:
Room name
Your room name may be anything that is not already in use, however, you may not use the following characters: ,.'*; because these characters are reserved for special chat functions.
Topic
The topic is displayed next to your room name on the online list. You should set it to something relevant to the discussion you will be having so that people who are interested can find your room.
Greeting
The greeting will be automatically sent to users when they first enter a room. You may use the following special tags for dynamic values:
%d - The current date
%t - The current time
%u - The user's username
%p - The room's topic.
Password
If you set a password people will only be able to enter your room by entering the password first.
Max Users
This sets the maximum allowed users who may enter your room. If you set it at a value of less then 3 it will automatically be set to 3. You may NOT set this field to 0. If the user limit is reached the room will not be displayed on the room list and users trying to enter will be denied.
Room Types
You may set your room to either Public or Private. The only difference is that Private rooms are never displayed in the room list and public ones are.
Moderated
If you have permission to, you may set your room to Moderated. This will make it so only people who have a voice will be able to send messages to the room. Operators can give and take voices from people using the Actions Tab.
Never Expire
If you have permission to, you may set your room to never expire. This means that it will not automatically be deleted after the set period of inactivity.

What are IRC-style commands?
There are many IRC-Style commands available in Mac GUI Live Conferences. They are called IRC-Style because they are used in the same was as you would use a command in an IRC chat room. To use an IRC command, you need to type a '/', followed by the command name, and then any arguments (separated by spaces), into the chat box. After that, click Send to run the command. A typical command will look like this:
'/command_name argument_1 argument_2'.
