Running an Effective Session
Preparation
- Test the session 10 minutes early
- Prepare an agenda or walkthrough route
- Pre-load the model if it’s large
- Share the invite link in advance
Structure
- Introduction (2 min) - Who’s here, what we’re reviewing
- Guided walkthrough (15-30 min) - Host leads through key areas
- Free exploration (10-20 min) - Participants investigate independently
- Regroup (10 min) - Gather findings, discuss issues
- Decisions & next steps (5 min) - Document outcomes
Best Practices
- Keep it focused - one project or topic per session
- Time-box discussions - don’t let one issue dominate
- Document decisions - take screenshots, add notes
- Follow up - assign action items before ending
Session Limits
| Aspect | Limit |
|---|---|
| Participants | Up to 12 in VR, more on desktop |
| Duration | No hard limit, but 60-90 min recommended |
| Model size | Depends on your plan |
Troubleshooting

| Lag or stuttering | Reduce participant count or model detail |
| Lost connection | Rejoin via the same link |
