# How do I create my own rooms?

> Create additional Personal Rooms beyond the default Home Page, modify room settings, and configure user behaviour for each room.

Personal Rooms accounts come with a default **Home Page** room. You can [create additional rooms](#create-a-new-room), [modify room settings](#modify-room-settings), and [configure user behaviour](#configure-user-settings) for each room.

The Home Page displays each time you log in to your Personal Rooms account.

You can configure each room with custom settings to match your use case:

* **Allow room to be recorded** **\[1]** — by default, rooms are not recordable. Enable this to let the moderator record the meeting.
* **Require users to be signed in before joining** **\[2]** — requires users to sign in to Personal Rooms before they can join.
* **Require moderator approval before joining** **\[3]** — prompts the moderator to approve each join request.
* **Allow any user to start this meeting** **\[4]** — by default, only the room owner can start a room. Enabling this lets any user with the room link start the room.
* **All users join as moderators** **\[5]** — by default, only the room owner enters as moderator. Enabling this gives moderator privileges to anyone with the room link.
* **Mute users when they join** **\[6]** — automatically mutes users joining with a microphone. Users can unmute themselves once in the meeting.
* **Delete Room** **\[7]** — delete the room. A confirmation prompt appears.

<Warning>
  Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Deleting a room also deletes all recordings associated with it.
