How can we help?
Everything you need to run, join and get the most from a Room Watt session.
How do I start a room?+
Click “Start a room”, sign in, and your host control centre opens. Your session goes live for signed-in students automatically.
Getting started
How do students join?+
Students sign in on the app page and join the live session. Their name appears on the host roster within seconds.
Getting started
Can I try it without an account?+
Yes. Without signing in the app runs in local demo mode with simulated students, so you can explore every feature.
Getting started
How do I build a slide sequence?+
Open the Sequence panel and use the editor to add Concept, Micro-case or Pitch slides, reorder, duplicate, and add host-only notes.
Lecturers
Which files can I upload?+
PDF, Word (DOCX), TXT and Markdown. Drag several at once into the Course Library; text is extracted automatically and the original is kept for download.
Lecturers
Can Watts prepare a class for me?+
Yes. In the Course Library, ask Watts to prepare notes for a topic. It drafts class notes and 4–7 slides you can append or use to replace the sequence.
Lecturers
What is the Warm-Call Generator?+
It clusters student answers to a micro-case and highlights the contrasting viewpoints worth calling on to spark debate.
Lecturers
What does Watts know about my course?+
Watts reads a living brief built from your library, refreshed after every save, plus your teaching-style notes.
Watts AI
Can I stop Watts using my files for students?+
Yes. Use the global setting in the grounding page, and share or hide each file individually.
Watts AI
Are my conversations saved?+
Yes, privately per account, as separate threads you can return to or delete.
Watts AI
Can I look back at earlier slides?+
Yes. Scroll freely through slides and notes; press “Catch up to host” to rejoin the live slide.
Students
What are the Shark Tank actions?+
Invest virtual capital, flag a market risk or propose a pivot. They feed the host’s structured backchannel.
Students
Boardroom or Amphitheater?+
Boardroom suits 5–10 people with a shared Lean Canvas. Amphitheater suits 50–70 with telemetry, clustered questions and a wattage heatmap.
Classroom modes
My screen shows “Local” instead of “Live”.+
You are not signed in, or the connection dropped. Sign in and refresh; changes sync again automatically.
Troubleshooting
Which browsers are supported?+
Recent Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox on desktop, tablet and phone.
Troubleshooting
How do I present over Zoom?+
Use the expand button on the centre stage for a full-window presenter view, then share that window.
