A stage now seats everyone in the audience when they arrive, except its moderators and people given the floor on that stage. Someone sent back to the audience stays there until the stage ends or they are brought up again. When a speaker shares a screen or goes live, everyone on the stage sees it, including people who arrive late.
A profile card says when someone has sent you a friend request, with Accept and Decline, and every ⋯ menu that offers Accept now offers Decline too. Ctrl+Alt+G starts a group conversation. Presence reads by shape as well as colour: online is a dot, away a crescent, Do not disturb a barred dot and offline a ring.
On a phone, a stream or shared screen that fills the screen keeps Mute and Leave within reach, a ring into a room of more than 25 people says you will join muted, and the Threads list held sideways opens on its first thread.
