LIvVE ONLINE GUIDE

Lobbies

Navigate lobby directories and enter rooms.

What a lobby is

A lobby is the directory that groups rooms for a particular activity—general chat, voice/video, games, support or another LIvVE service area. Entering a lobby does not necessarily place you into a room; it gives you the list of rooms available there.
