How do I control who has access to my VyewBooks?

In the Userlist there is a Access Control toggle with an icon that looks like a padlock. Click on this to set the general Access Control setting for the VyewBook:

Invites Only - Default VyewBooks are secure-by-default, set the "Invites Only" when created. When set to this, only the persons you invite via Invite People will have access to the VyewBook.
Open to Anyone To let everyone access your VyewBook anytime, you can set it to "Open to Anyone" which will effectively leave your VyewBook unlocked. Unlocking your VyewBook by leaving it set to "Open to Anyone" will give even non-invited "Guests" access to your VyewBook when they navigate to the VyewBook's URL. (See "Guests" below)
Owner Only VyewBooks set to "Owner Only" can only be accessed by the owner - the person who created the VyewBook.
NOTE: If you invite people to a VyewBook then change the Access Control setting to "Owner Only", those invites will not be let in and will be referred to your Public Lobby (see below).

What if we wanted to ban someone who was disruptive? How would one do that, after having given them access, without affecting everyone else?

Response:
There is no “ban” feature at this point, we will consider adding one in the future.
Any Moderator or Owner, can kick someone out of a room, by clicking on their username then selecting “Disconnect this user”.
If that user was invited to your meeting, you would then need to uninvite them so they couldnt come back in.
If you had set your VyewBook to “Open to anyone” then you should change the VyewBook to Invites only.
