# General settings

In the `General Settings` of your Spot, you can modify your Spot's name, description, logo, and privacy settings.

## **Spot Information**

In this section, you can modify the name, logo, and description of your Spot.

* Providing **a name** for your Spot is mandatory. It must be at least 4 characters and no more than 100 characters.
* Adding **a description** for your Spot is optional. If you choose to add one, it must be a maximum of 300 characters. It will be displayed during the registration process and is intended to encourage new users to join the Spot.
* Adding **a logo** for your Spot is optional. The image must be in .png, .jpg, or .gif format and should not exceed 1MB. It is recommended to use a square image with a minimum size of 40 x 40 pixels.

{% hint style="info" %}
Only Spot admins can modify the name, description, and logo of the Spot.
{% endhint %}

## **Access Settings**

### **Privacy**

You can modify the privacy settings of your Spot. You can define the access conditions for your Spot: Public or Private.

* **Public**: If you choose to make your Spot public, any user will be able to join your Spot without needing your approval.
* **Private**: If you choose to make your Spot private, any user who wants to join your Spot will need to wait for you to approve or deny their request.

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you change your Spot's privacy from private to public, all users pending approval will be automatically accepted.
{% endhint %}

### **Email Verification**

You can decide to require email verification for your members by toggling the switch on or off.

If you enable this feature:

* As long as they have not verified their email, your members will not be able to access the Spot's content.
* Members who log in with their email and password will need to verify their email. They will receive an email with a verification link. Once they click the link, their email will be verified, and they will regain access to all Spot content.\
  If you have enabled SSO for your Spot, all members who log in via SSO will be automatically verified.

### **Spot Owner**

If you are the Spot owner (which means you are the creator of the Spot), you can transfer this role to another admin using the selector in this section. Only the Spot owner can transfer this role.

## **Languages & Time Zone**

On the same page, you can define the language (`Deutsch`, `Dutch`, `English`, `Español`, `Français`, `Italiano` ou `Português`) and timezone of your Spot. By default, these settings align with the language and timezone of the device used to create the Spot. This language is used whenever a default language is required. In particular, it is used to:

* generate email templates when the Spot is created
* generate the home page when the Spot is created
* generate default course step titles
* emails when the user's language is not known

If you modify this language, the new language will only be used for new content and in future emails.

## Short links

Short links are unique links that automatically redirect each member to the correct version of their Spot (full application or embed).

{% hint style="info" %}
Short links support multi-domain: if your Spot is embedded in different places, the link will automatically redirect the member to the right domain.
{% endhint %}

**If you activate this feature**

* From the `Share` buttons available in MeltingSpot, the copied link is a short link.
* Example: `https://mltngs.pt/s/xxxx`
* This link will be valid for all users.

When clicking on a short link:

* If you are logged in, you will be redirected directly to the content.
* If you are not logged in, you can chose:
  * `Login page, via email or SSO`. The member is redirected to a login page where they can choose to sign in either with SSO or with their MeltingSpot credentials.&#x20;
  * `Only with SSO`. The member is redirected directly to the SSO login URL (this option is available only if SSO is enabled).

**If you do not activate this feature**

From the Share buttons, the copied link will be the direct URL of the page you are on.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This means that if you share a link from an embed, all members who click on it will be redirected to that specific embed, without taking their domain preferences into account.
{% endhint %}

## **Advanced Features**

{% hint style="warning" %}
Access to content generation via AI is limited to certain paid MeltingSpot plans. If you do not have access to this tab, please [contact us.](mailto:support@meltingspot.Io)
{% endhint %}

Before accessing this feature, you must accept that your data will be used by AI to generate content through the toggle.
