How to create a meeting room and invite someone via a sharable link:

1. On the landing-page click on the "create a meeting" button to initiate a new meeting room.

2. After clicking on "create a meeting" you'll be redirected to a meeting room, where a sharable link will be generated including the unique meeting id in the URL path. Copy and share this link with someone for them to join.

3. Once all attendees have joined, you should both see each other's beautiful faces 😎
