# Cosmos Video: Meeting Rooms for Video Calls

Cosmos Video meeting rooms host scheduled and ad-hoc video calls with up to 200 participants, HD video, 196 kbps audio, and 1080p recording with AI transcription and summaries. Meeting rooms sit inside the broader Cosmos Video virtual office, so teams move between proximity-based collaboration and fully-connected calls without switching tools.

Beyond the baseline call, Cosmos Video meeting rooms add instant breakout rooms with automatic participant distribution, 4K multi-party screen sharing, embedded apps including whiteboards, Miro, Figma, and games, and guest access via link without requiring an account. Engagement tools cover reactions, polls, and hand raise. According to research cited on the live page, 67% of meetings are considered failures due to passive listening - the recommended breakout configuration is 3-4 people per group for 5-10 minute durations.

## What are meeting rooms in Cosmos Video?

A Cosmos Video meeting room is a dedicated zone inside a space with full group connectivity, where everyone hears everyone. Unlike spatial areas, meeting rooms do not use proximity audio - they behave like traditional video calls but live inside the persistent virtual office.

## Why use Cosmos Video meeting rooms?

Teams need both open collaboration and focused video calls. Cosmos Video meeting rooms handle the focused-call use case inside the same environment as everyday work, so recurring standups, client calls, and workshops run without context-switching to a separate conferencing tool.

Outcomes remote teams report:
- One environment for both drop-by and scheduled collaboration
- Instant breakouts replace manual room assignment
- Guests join from a link with no account required
- AI summaries capture decisions without dedicated note-takers
- Embedded apps remove tool-switching during calls

## How do Cosmos Video meeting rooms work?

Users join a meeting room by walking in or clicking a calendar link. Everyone inside the room is on the same call. The host can start recording, launch breakouts, share screens in 4K, embed collaborative apps, and lock the room for privacy. After the meeting, AI transcription and summaries deliver searchable notes.
