+======================
+Conversation Presets
+======================
+
+Conversation presets allow administrators to define templates for new conversations, with pre-configured settings such as permissions, lobby rules, and conversation type.
+
+Available Presets
+=================
+
+Depending on your instance configuration, you may see presets when creating a new conversation. Each preset applies a specific set of defaults suited to a particular use case.
+
+Permanent Call Rooms
+====================
+
+A permanent call room is a conversation preset optimized for ongoing, always-available meetings.
+
+Setting Up a Permanent Call Room
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+1. Create a new conversation
+2. Select the "Permanent call room" or "Voice room" preset
+3. The conversation is configured as a persistent space for calls
+4. Members can start or join calls at any time
+
+Use Cases
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Always-on rooms for team stand-ups or recurring meetings
+- Impromptu voice discussions without scheduling
+- Dedicated spaces for a team or project
+
+Force Lobby
+===========
+
+Administrators can configure a preset to force the lobby, ensuring participants wait for a moderator before joining.
+
+When a conversation uses a forced lobby preset:
+
+- Participants see a waiting room upon joining
+- A moderator must admit them to the conversation
+- Useful for webinars, interviews, or controlled meetings

+
+1. Hover over a message in the chat
+2. Click the smiley face icon or "Add reaction" button
