The Signal feature is a quick and easy way to get the attention of the members of your room. Just tap on the Signal icon, and anyone who is a member of your room will receive a notification that you are online and ready to hang out. The room’s creator and admin can choose who is permitted to use the Signal feature by adjusting the room's permission settings.
Signal is time-gated — there's a 10-minute cooldown between signals in the same room.
