Collaborate and share scenes in Arkio Web

Share a scene to review a design together, invite others to make changes or collaborate with people and their AI agents.
Share your scene
Open the scene you want to share.
Click the Share icon in the right-hand toolbar to open the Meeting panel.
Select Share this scene.
Choose Can view or Can edit.
Select Create link and wait for the scene to finish uploading.
Copy the link and send it to your collaborators.
You must be signed in to create a sharing link.
Choose who can edit
Use Can view for presentations and design reviews. Choose Can edit when you want collaborators to make changes.
You can change the link setting in the Meeting panel and copy the appropriate link.
Changing the link setting does not revoke an edit link you have already shared. Send editing links only to people you want to give editing access to.
Join a shared scene
Open the invitation link in your browser and wait for the scene to load and connect. If you already had Arkio web open, you might need to refresh your page for the link to work.
If you opened an editing link while signed out, choose Sign in to edit. A viewing link remains view-only even after you sign in.
The participant list shows who is connected and their role: Host, Editor, or Viewer.
Present your design
For a design review, share a Can view link so participants can explore without changing the model.
Use the participant controls to bring people together:
Jump: Move to another participant’s location.
Gather everyone: Bring participants to your location. This is available to the host and editors.
Gathering everyone helps you focus a discussion on a room, detail or design option. It does not continuously lock everyone to your camera.
When a session is in Presentation mode, only the host can change the scene. Other participants can review the design without editing it.
Share feedback
In a shared scene, the chat area has two tabs:
My agent: Your own conversation with the AI.
Group chat: Messages shared with the people in the scene.
Use Group chat to discuss changes, share files and images, and react to messages. You can also share an agent response, generated image, or video with the group.
Your private agent conversation is not automatically posted to Group chat. To use something a colleague shared, choose Send to my agent, review the prepared message, and send your request.
Scene notes can also hold comments, helping you keep feedback connected to a particular part of the design.
Use voice chat
In the Meeting panel, use the microphone control beside your name to unmute. Allow microphone access when your browser asks.
You join muted. The microphone menu lets you choose an input device, and the host can mute participants.
Meeting voice is not currently supported in Safari. You can still use Group chat.
Work together with AI agents
Participants with editing rights and available AI credits can ask their agents to change the shared scene. Those changes are visible to other participants.
An editing link does not provide AI credits. Each person uses the allowance available through their own account or organization.
Live collaboration between multiple users and agents is still experimental. Agree on who is editing each area and avoid asking multiple agents to change the same objects at once.
Connection and saving
Check the Meeting panel for connection and save status. Shared editing may pause if the connection drops or saving fails. Wait for reconnection or resolve the displayed error before continuing.
To leave a shared scene, open another scene or chat.
