session_members

Clicking on the three dots next to a listed member opens a corresponding menu. There you can assign the “Moderator” role, remove a member or follow the camera of a member.

The “Moderator” role is initally assigned to the user, who created the session. Other users are marked as “Guest”. However, it is possible to assign the “Moderator” role to other members as well.

Following a users means, that all camera actions are synced.
