Communicate and collaborate

In this article, you’ll learn how to share and collaborate with other users on a PC, Mac, or iPad. If you’re a Quest user go here to get started and learn how to use In-Room Collaboration.

Collaborating with others

If you received a link to a Campfire project from a colleague, simply click on the link to open the Campfire app. Otherwise, open Campfire and go to the project and scene you are interested in viewing.

When others are active within a scene, you’ll see them represented by either a rectangle (if they’re using a PC, Mac, or iPad) or a generic head (if they’re using a Quest). You’ll also see their name under the rectangle or head, so you’ll know who’s in the scene and exactly what they’re looking at.

Presenter mode

Within a scene, one user at a time can be in Presenter mode. As presenter, you can switch scenes, and interact and manipulate the models with a range of tools. Typically, a presenter guides the design review presentation or training session and is the only one who can change scenes. If a user is a presenter, a yellow dot appears above them.

💡

Note: There can only be one presenter at any time, although the role can be handed off to other users.

Collaboration tools

On the bottom right there’s a toolbar with basic communication and review tools. As the presenter you have access to a range of tools to guide the flow of the presentation.

Follow mode

Following another user allows you to view the scene from that user’s perspective. This is great when someone is demonstrating a procedure and you want to see what they’re doing from a first-person view. Go to the user list in the top right corner, click on the user icon of the person you want to follow, and click Follow.

Sharing a project with others

When you’re ready to review your work with others, simply share a link to the project or scene.

You can easily share a project with other Campfire users by adding their email address. Click on the Share button to add the emails of other Campfire users.

You can also share a project with a user who does not already have a Campfire account. The user will be prompted to create an account and download Campfire before they can view your project.
