How do I create a Room?
Updated October 2026
A Room is a larger space with roles. When you create one, you're its Admin.
- Open GSN and tap the square button at the bottom right of Messages.
- Tap Create Room.
- Enter a Room Name.
- Under Visibility, choose who can join. The default is Anyone can join (this server only).
- Tap Create Room. Your Room opens.
On an iPad or tablet, the square button is at the bottom of the Messages list on the left.
Visibility options
- Anyone can join (this server only) — anyone on your server can find it in Browse Rooms and join. On our free server, that means everyone on it.
- Invite only (this server only) — hidden; you invite people on your server.
- Invite only (including whitelisted servers) — hidden; you can also invite people on other servers once your Server Admin has approved them. See Can I talk to people on other servers?
