🖼️ What are Community Scenes?
Community Scenes are unique open locations to practice what you are learning in IMMERSE outside of class, either with AI Avatars or other real members! Community scenes are available 24/7 and no booking is required, just simply enter and practice anytime. They offer flexible privacy to explore solo or with friends in a private room, or meet new people in public spaces!

ℹ️ Entering Community Scenes for Other Languages
When you create your Immerse account, you'll choose the language you want to learn. This selection determines the classes you see on your schedule and the public meetup and private practice spaces you automatically enter.
However, you can change your language settings at any time. This allows you to attend classes, visit practice scenes, or meet conversation partners in public spaces for a different language.
To view classes or access public spaces for other languages, you must change your language setting. 👉 Click here to learn how to change your language.
🚨 Attention: Remember to switch your language setting back to your original language to see your class schedule and use Immerse features for that language.

Additional FAQs
How many learners can be in one scene at a time?
The scene capacity is 14 users. This includes Guides or other staff that may be present.
Why is there a scene cap?
Why is there a scene cap?
Exceeding this user limit directly impacts your experience. As more learners join a scene, the system struggles to render the environment, process your real-time interactions, and keep everyone synchronized. This increased strain can quickly lead to a frustrating experience, manifesting as delays in responsiveness, dropped frames, audio disruptions, and a generally unstable environment. Ultimately, such conditions can severely diminish the quality of your learning and potentially lead to system crashes. Therefore, adhering to the 14-user capacity is essential for ensuring a stable, responsive, and reliable platform for all learners.
What happens if I try to join a room and it’s already full/at capacity?
What happens if I try to join a room and it’s already full/at capacity?
For public scenes, a new room is created when the 15th person attempts to join. This 15th person will be the first occupant of this new scene, alone. Subsequent individuals attempting to join will be directed to this room until it reaches its capacity, at which point another scene will be generated. This process repeats as needed.
For private scenes, when you are the 15th person to attempt to join, you will be unable to enter. A push notification will inform you that the scene is full and advise you to try again later.
How many AI Conversation Partners are in each scene?
Depending on its size, each scene provides 2-5 different avatars. For more information, please refer to the AI Conversation Partner article.
How do I request a new Community Scene?
