Rooms provide different methods of conversations in your workspace. They allow a more structured and purpose-oriented workflow.
{% hint style="info" %} If you are an administrator, see the Room Workspace Administration. {% endhint %}
Channels: Organize conversations across different topics.
Teams: Promotes collaboration between different teams.
Discussions: Allows a separate focused conversation around larger topics in a team or channel.
Direct Messages: Allows one-off conversations that do not require a channel or team.
Thread: Organized conversations around a particular message.

When someone mentions you with @username, @all or @here, a symbol or a number will appear alongside the channel name. If someone mentions @all or @here a number will show up showing the number of times the mention is specific to you.
Auto-Translate is a powerful feature in Rocket.Chat that enhances communication and collaboration by automatically translating room messages in real time. It is valuable for global teams, multilingual communities, or organizations that need to bridge language barriers effortlessly.
{% hint style="info" %} The workspace administrator must configure the Auto-Translate settings. {% endhint %}
To enable Auto-Translate in a room,
- Click the kebab icon at the menu bar of the room.
- Select Auto-Translate.
- Enable Automatic Translation.
- Select your preferred language.
All the messages you receive in the room will be automatically translated to the selected language.
{% hint style="warning" %} Your translation settings won't affect other users in the room. The messages they receive will also be translated to their selected language. {% endhint %}
