# Inviting Participants to a Room

You can invite people to a Coresee room whether or not a session is currently active. Invites are sent from the Participants tab, and since rooms are persistent, anyone you invite stays on the room's participant list for future sessions too — not just the one happening right now.

## **Where to Invite From**

The Participants tab within the Side Panel is available in two places, and inviting works the same way in both.

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Column>
    <Card title="From the Homepage">
      Open the room's Control Panel from the homepage and go to the Participants tab. Useful for inviting people ahead of a session, before anyone has joined.
    </Card>
  </Column>

  <Column>
    <Card title="From the Room">
      During a live session, open the Participants tab  from the side panel to invite someone on the fly.
    </Card>
  </Column>
</Columns>

## **How to Invite Someone**

You'll need to be a host or co-host of the room to invite participants.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the side panel">
    From the homepage or from inside the room.

  <Step title="Access the Participants tab" />

  <Step title="Under the Invite Participants section, enter a name and email address">
    Type them into the text field, or paste a list copied from a spreadsheet, CSV file, or calendar invitation — Coresee detects the format and splits it into individual entries automatically.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Send Invitation">
    The person is added to the room's participant list and receives an email with the room link.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## **How Invitation Emails Work**

Sending an invitation doesn't only email the person you just added: it can also go to people already on the room's participant list who haven't received one yet.

If someone joined a room without ever being formally invited — for example, they were just given the room link or joined manually — they're added to the participant list but haven't received an invitation email. The next time *anyone* is invited to that same room, Coresee sends the invitation email to every participant on the list who hasn't received one yet, not just the newly invited person.
