Space Features
Shared Wall
This is a central space to display 2D content. For environments without walls, the Shared Wall is especially helpful for neatly organizing your photos, videos, NFTs, documents, and more. Every space has a shared wall, and with Custom Environments, you can decide where to place it.
Seat Hotspots
Take a seat! This is a snap-to-seat feature that allows guests to precisely position their avatar on virtual seating. You'll know you've found a seat hotspot when the green arrow appears when you click or teleport. Hotspots are featured in certain pre-set environments.
