## What is Roomie?

Roomie is where conversations happen out loud.

- PUBLIC & PRIVATE CHAT ROOMS
Build a room around anything — a city, a hobby, a project, a group of friends.
Public rooms are discoverable by everyone in the community. Private rooms are
invite-only: add members by username, or send an invite by email.

- LIVE AUDIO ROOMS
Open a room and start talking. No scheduling, no setup. Listeners can raise a
hand to ask for the mic, and hosts can promote anyone to speaker, bring the
whole room up at once, or hand the floor to someone new. Join to speak, or just listen in.

- DIRECT MESSAGES
Private one-to-one conversations with anyone you meet in a room.

- LIVE POLLS
Ask the room a question and watch the results come in as people vote.

- VOICE NOTES, PHOTOS & GIFS
Say it out loud with a voice message, share a photo, or drop the perfect GIF
from the built-in picker.

- FIND YOUR PEOPLE
See who's active right now and discover members near you on the map.

- SAFETY FIRST
Report or block anyone, any time. Rooms are moderated, and you leave whenever you want.

Roomie is free to join.
Come for one conversation — stay for the room.

Polls now appear in the room chat, in their place in the conversation. Vote, share or end one without leaving the room.
Poll cards show who created them. Tap the name or photo for their profile.
Results update live as people vote.
The full list of a room's polls is still a tap away, on the + button.
Shared links now read as the page they point to, instead of a wall of tracking characters.
- Changed: Q&A rooms have been retired. Existing conversations continue as regular rooms.
