Joining an activity

Collaboration in the neighborhood 

In the Neighborhood View you can see other XO users and the Activities they are using represented with an icon. If you move the pointer over an Activity icon and press the Enter key that Activity will launch on your laptop as a collaboration.

You can run many activities either to carry out on your own or to share with other users on the XO network by selecting My Neighborhood from the dropdown list defaulted to Private within the activity.

The way you collaborate varies from one Activity to another. Some examples of how a collaboration might work include:

  • Using the Write Activity you can enter and edit text together.
  • Using the Browse Activity  you can show another XO user a web page and you can share a bookmark by marking a URL and sharing it with the Neighborhood.
  • Share pictures you've taken with the Record Activity or drag the picture into a document in the Write Activity.
  • Chat with other XO users from either the Neighborhood view or the Group view by joining their Chat Activity.
