How many flats can I create?

You can create a flat for each community, team, or event you run. If you signed up with email and password, verify your email address before creating a second flat; flat.social will remind you with a link in your inbox. Most organizers keep one flat and add rooms inside it.

Can I change the name and URL later?

Yes. Rename the flat in Settings → Basic Information (up to 64 characters there). The URL can change too, but existing links stop working when it does.

Is my flat public by default?

A new flat is open to anyone with the link, including guests without an account. You can close it to invited people or specific email domains at any time. See Privacy & access.

How do I delete a flat?

Owners can delete a flat from Settings → Ownership. See Delete a flat.

What is a flat?

A flat is your space on flat.social. It holds your rooms, your branding, your members, and your settings, and it lives at its own web address like flat.social/f/your-name. Every new flat starts with a ready-made set of rooms that you can rename, rebuild, or delete.

Your first flat is created for you

If you just signed up, the welcome setup builds your first flat with you. It asks what you want to use flat.social for (For my remote team, For my students, or Virtual Event Space), lets you name the flat, and then offers to invite people. When it finishes, you land inside your new flat. You can also pick Just explore the app for now and create a flat later.

How to create another flat

1
Open My flats
Sign in, go to My flats, and click New Flat. The Create New Flat dialog opens.
2
Name your flat
Type a Flat Name (3 to 60 characters). This is what people see at the top of your lobby and in every room.
3
Check the URL
The URL fills in from the name. Edit it if you like: 6 to 32 characters, lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes, not starting or ending with a dash. The preview shows flat.social/f/your-url, and flat.social marks it Available or Already taken as you type.
4
Choose a use case
Pick Remote Work, Networking & Events, Education & Virtual Classrooms, or Other. flat.social uses it to give you a starter set of rooms, maps, lobby categories, and activities that fit.
5
Create and open it
Click Create Flat. The new flat appears as a card in My flats. Click the card to enter your lobby.

The Create New Flat dialog with name, URL, and use case fields — Name your flat, check the URL, and choose a use case.

What's inside a new flat?

A new flat is not empty. Based on your use case, it comes with a set of rooms (with maps, lighting vibes, and lobby card covers already set), lobby categories, and a few pinned activities. Treat them as a starting point: rename them, rebuild them in build mode, or delete the ones you don't need.

Owners and admins also see a Set up your flat checklist in the lobby, with shortcuts to Invite members and Personalize your space.

Changing your URL later

You can change the address in Settings → General → Basic Information → Flat URL. When you do, flat.social/f/your-old-url stops working, so share the new link with your guests.
