The room name is how students connect to your room to take a quiz. Room names are unique across all of Socrative to ensure that students are connected to the room name. 

To change your room name, click on the Rooms header. This is where all your rooms will be listed. Next, click on the pencil icon next to the room name you'd like to change.


A new menu will show to allow you to change your room name. Enter the name you'd like and click Rename. Please keep in mind, spaces and special characters are not supported; only letters and numbers are permitted.

If the room name is already in use, a message will show that the room name is not available. You can further customize your room name by prefacing it with initials such as the school/organization or subject initials to make it more unique and secure.
