Virtual Office
The Huly platform offers the ability for team members to meet through built-in voice and video conferencing. To access the Live Office Virtual Environment, click the building icon in the left sidebar.
Navigating your virtual office
On the left side are individual offices for team members; on the right side are meeting rooms.
At the bottom of the screen, you can choose a setting for your own personal office:
- Knock required - Others must request access by knocking before entering your office.
- Do not disturb - Others are unable to request access to your office.
Individual offices
Currently, individual offices only offer voice chat. Screen share is still available in individual offices.
Entering someone else’s office
Click on any team member’s office to request to enter. You’ll see a popup indicating that you are knocking on their virtual office door, and you’ll need to wait to be allowed to enter.

At any time, from any view in the Huly platform, you can glance at your virtual office space by selecting Main in the top left corner of the screen. This opens a popup displaying your virtual office, including which team members are in which areas.
