# Huddle

Huddle offers an alternative to spatialized comms. It allows users to seamlessly join a global channel, facilitating conversations with individuals in the same virtual space regardless of their location – even while on the loading screen.

## Connecting to huddle

You can connect to a space's huddle at any time by opening the participant menu and selecting the `Join` huddle button.

{% hint style="info" %}
Connecting to huddle removes you from the spatial audio channel. Huddled users will be unable to communicate with users who are connected to the spatial audio channel.

## Huddle invitations

To invite users to huddle, open the participant menu and select the `Invite to Huddle` button found next to the user's name you would like to invite.
