A General External Connection Object allows users to navigate to another web page. When connected, it automatically opens the linked page.
This feature is available for both Space Objects and Quick Objects.
Space Objects
Quick Objects
Using Space Objects
When you connect to a General External Connection Object, the linked page opens automatically. To update the URL, you must edit it from the "Customize Space" screen.
Using Quick Objects
1. Launch the Quick Object.
2. Enter the URL and click "Save."
After clicking "Save," the initiator is automatically redirected to the linked page.
3. Participants can click "Connect" to navigate to the linked page.
Tips
Avatar Display After Connection
Connected users' avatars are displayed in a "Muted" status, indicating that they are not receiving audio from the workspace. This shows that they are active on the destination page. When disconnected from the object, their status changes back to "Available."
Retrieving the Link
You can obtain the configured URL from the link icon in the Object Window.
Updating the URL for Quick Objects
The initiator can update the URL while using the object. To do so, enter the new URL in the input field and click "Save."
Popup Blocking
If the initiator saves or updates the URL while connected users are using the object, the update may be blocked by a popup blocker, preventing automatic redirection. If the web page does not open automatically, retrieve the configured URL from the link icon in the object window.
For browser versions, allow popups and redirects by selecting the appropriate option in the browser’s address bar to avoid popup blocking.
