Today's Meet - with password protected rooms

Password-Protected Rooms are here!

I'm so excited to introduce Password Protected Rooms. This is a feature I've wanted for TodaysMeet—as have many of you—since the very beginning, and it means so much that it's finally here. Room Passwords provide a whole new set of classrooms with much-needed privacy and accountability options.
Room Passwords are part of Teacher Tools. Not a subscriber? Become one today! Or read on for more announcements.
Using Room Passwords is as easy as 1-2-3:

Create a Room Password
Share a link to the room
Share the password when you're ready to get started
You can add, remove, or change a Room Password at any time—adding or changing it will kick everyone out of the room until they enter the new password.
Read more on the blog or try out Room Passwords right now!

Improved Transcripts

Two changes to transcripts will benefit TodaysMeet users.

Transcripts now include the Topic for the room up at the top. The Topic provides important context and it will be visible whenever the Transcript is shared, printed, or saved.

Room owners also have a new option to show deleted messages in Transcripts—including anything said by Muted users. When looking at the transcript, you can flip deleted messages on and off with one click!
Only the organizer of the room can see the deleted messages.

Updated Home Page

The homepage got some much-needed improvements that make it easier to use. Now, to see details, find links, or change options, click or tap on the dots next to the room name:
And you'll get the familiar Room Tools
Instead of a terse collection of icons, now there are clear text labels, and all the options are right in front of you. (Room Passwords will show up here for Teacher Tools subscribers, too!)
