Room Tutorial
Advanced Hosting:
Hosting is the process of setting up a meeting that others can attend. People who come to your meetings are visitors. Once you’ve logged in as a host conferencing is fast:
Start a conference
Action | Time | Role |
Host Start Conference | 15 Seconds | Host |
Zip Link Attend | 9 seconds | Visitor |
Attend via Lobby | 11 Seconds | Visitor |
Host Login | 30 seconds | Host |
Upload Logo & Headshot | 120 seconds | Host |

Step 1 — Test your Browser
Testing your browser is a rigorous check of your camera, browser and internet connection. This test assures your computer is able to host a conference. If your computer passes this test your computer is good to go!
Step 2 — Access the Hosting Portal
Bookmark this page to so you can start a conference quickly. The portal is also linked from the Conference Lobby: https://liveo2.us — Click the camera-host icon in the upper left corner.
Step 3 — Login to Portal
The Hosting Portal uses information you already know to authenticate. The portal will ask for:
- Your Email (Any email associated with your LiveO2 account)
- Your Phone Number (any phone number associated with your account)
- Your Postal Code (Your billing zip code) This means that ONLY LiveO2 customers can use the conferencing system.
To spare you from remembering more passwords we used authentication with stuff you already know. Your login will remain active for about 6 months so you won’t have to login again for a long time. Our goal was to make conferencing seamless and fast as possible.
Step 4 — Publish Your Room
Your conference room is yours and doesn’t change.
Your room link is https://liveo2.us/RoomName
The Room name is your First Name followed by your last initial.
The durable room link makes it easy to configure recurring appointments.
You can use it in all your calendar appointments. Your colleagues and customers know where to find you.
After they use it once, the system remembers their settings when possible to minimize decisions and clicks.
Lobby Link — https://liveo2.us
- Send visitor https://liveo2.us
- Click on your meeting
Very useful when you cannot send your visitor a link for any reason.
Direct Room Link
Goes straight to a but does not identify the visitor. The visitor must identify themself before they get in.
https://liveo2.us/<YourRoom>
Use this link to setup group meetings.
https://liveo2.us/GeorgeS
or
https://liveo2.us/georges
Zip Link
A Zip-Link includes the name of the visitor that will be assigned to the visitor on entry. The Zip Link saves visitors typing.
https://liveo2.us/<YourRoom>/<VisitorName>
Personal invitations to visitors are sent as zip links
Dial In 970 999 1793
Rooms opened in meeting mode are offered to dial-in visitors.
Rooms with dial in visitors are show insecure to all guests with a red background and a x‑shield in the low-left corner.
Step 5 — Configure and Start Your Room
Select Devices
Modern computers have multiple input and output selections. My desktop computer has:
- 2 Cameras
- 5 Microphone Choices
When you enter a conference you will need to select the proper microphone and camera.
Most users configure their computer’s default to their favorite combo, which is the way I’m configured.
Note your conference room link. This link is your private room address. Anybody that splashes clicks this link will enter your room. Our goal was to make it really easy for you to get visitors into your private conference room. All you have to do is send them the link or get them to splash into the LiveO2 lobby and click into your conference.

Conference Modes
Before you start your conference you will select a conference mode.
Conference Mode | Participants | Record | Purpose |
Private | 2 | no | Private conversation. After your visitor joins, the room is locked and no others can join. Use this mode when you want an uninterrupted conversation with one other person. |
Chat | 2 – 5 | no | Small meeting peer to peer. This conference mode mutually connects each computer without a central server. This mode conceals the participants. Dial-in is not supported |
Meeting | 2 – 50 | yes | This mode is supports professional meetings and conferences. It is supported on a central server. |
Podcast | 2+ | yes | Starts the room in Meeting Mode with recording enabled for recorded meetings. |
Record
Clicking the record box will cause the meeting to be recorded.
Recorded meetings are indicated by a red timer background throughout the meeting. After the meeting is complete, the host is mailed links to the conference recordings.
Details:
- Each conference participant is recorded as an video stream, mp4. This feature enables post-production editing to customize the audio and video (mute barking dogs, horns, etc that often compromise audio and video quality.)
- The composite stream blends all conference participants and screen shares. This is often helpful for quick post-meeting distribution to share a meeting among participants.
- Download all recordings to preserve them server policy only retains recordings 30 days;
Room Lock
An unlocked room is visible in the lobby so any visitor in the lobby can enter your meeting. A locked room is unlisted by the lobby and any visitor who attempts to enter is rejected.
See video tutorial for instructions.
Invite Link
The invite link is active during a meeting and enables you to invite a new participant by Zip link:
- Grab the Room Link
- Send Zip Link by Email
- Send Zip Link by SMS (text)
See video tutorial for instructions
Screen Shares
The conference facility enables limited browsers to share screens:
- Google Chrome
- Safari
- Firefox
- Microsoft edge (unknown)
See tutorial for instructions
Time Goof Alert
If somebody splashes to your room and you’re not there the system will send you a text message to your phone.
This is handy for:
- Hosts that forgot they scheduled a conference sometime;
- Visitors who show up at the wrong time the message alerts the hosts that the visitor had an issue;
- It really helps to enable the host to handle schedule goofs.
Why build a conferencing platform?
Only fools speak freely.
In my last career I did military work and became aware that all forms of electronic communications are recorded and kept forever. We were told that privacy persisted in that the anonymity of each speaker. A FISA warrant was required to associate a recording to a person.
Shortly thereafter it was publicly disclosed that the phone companies record sender and receiver every phone call anybody makes to the government. The government knows everyone you talk to and tracks it as a network graph.
In 2016 overt disregard for FISA warrant requirements became public. Privacy was overtly abused by all manner of government toads.
Simply stated privacy did not exist.

Specific Goals
Privacy objectives:
- Hide who is talking to whom from outsiders;
- Encrypt everything said;
- Show when comms are not secure.
Quality of Service
- Deliver the LiveO2 brand in every conversation;
- Maximize communication quality;
- Deliver distributed training and care;
- Enable live biometrics;
- Have eyes and ears in the field for support.
Why not use Skype or Zoom?
Our initial disqualification for Zoom or Skype was a quest to integrate live biometric devices data our training systems for heart rate, pulse oximetry, exercise equipment power, and the like.
Then the health industry got weird. Back in 2018, the Youtube CEO overtly declared that scientific references that supported utility of Vitamin C for various diseases was scientific misinformation.
When Microsoft acquired Skype it was obvious that Skype would soon be a warrantless surveillance systems.
Big Tech seemed soon to target health products and platforms. Black Rock and Vanguard are majority owners in drug companies, Amazon, Microsoft, Zoom and Google.
User privacy on all communication systems including Google, Facebook, Skype, Zoom and all others was overtly forfeit. The platforms were only free because the intel these platforms gain listening and watching everyone communications make worth giving away.
Every communication company sold out user privacy.
To be blunt — The technical staff of LiveO2 began to distrust Big Tech long ago. The ability to evolve marketing, channels and support to a free-standing platform which could serve the LiveO2, and general health market seemed like a good idea.
We support this platform because we want everyone you engage to discover LiveO2.
