Modified on: Tue, 18 May, 2021 at 11:10 PM
Breakroom's UI, or user interface, offers your users the information and tools they need to navigate your world. When enabled, your chosen UI components will frame the screen.
An example of the UI in action. You can press the F9 key or Alt + U to toggle the UI on and off.
There are situations where you may wish to enable or disable certain functions for your end users. If you disable a portion of the UI, end users will not see that component appear on their screen. You can learn more about UI customization via the Dashboard by visiting the Customization section.
