When you enter a Space in Pencil, you can only join a call once the host has started the call. This is done by clicking the green button at the top right-hand of your screen. This is the same process for the host. To start the call, the host needs to click the green button at the top right-hand side of your screen.

To leave the video call, you have the option to just leave the call or to leave the space entirely.

Leaving the Call

Users have the capability to leave a call while staying in a Space. To do this while on the whiteboard, select the phone icon that can be found at the bottom right corner of the participant boxes.

The host will have the option to just leave the call themselves, or end the call for all participants. The other participants will only have the option to leave the call.

When you leave a call, you will stay in the Space. You will still be able to see everything that was written, drawn, or pasted onto the whiteboard. Participants are able to rejoin the call up until the host ends the call for everyone.

If you are in gallery view, the same process applies, however, the button to leave the call is now on the bottom right corner of your screen.

Leaving the Space

To leave a Space, the "Leave Space" button at the top left corner of your screen in both the whiteboard view and gallery view.

When you leave the space, you will be taken back to the Pencil Spaces homepage. You will be able to see a list of all the Spaces you have previously created and joined. It is important to note that all of these spaces automatically save on their own. You are easily able to rejoin any of these Spaces.
