The Overview page provides quick access to your personal meeting room, scheduled video discussions, and supporting documents and stimuli, such as images and videos.
Personal meeting room
Your personal meeting room is designed for the following uses:
- For training moderators and familiarizing them with the platform prior to a live video discussion.
- For checking stimuli you have uploaded to ensure it appears as desired in the meeting room.
- For debrief sessions between interviews to discuss lessons and make adjustments to the discussion guide.
The personal meeting room for each project has a URL based on your project name, and is not editable. For example, https://videodiscussions.alida.com/meet/my_project.
You cannot schedule invites for your personal meeting room. To start a conversation, click the Join Room link on your project's Overview page. To invite others to join the personal meeting room, click Copy Link and email or text them the link.

Documents in these folders can be viewed, downloaded, and deleted.
