Add the Eurl bot to your Space to make it public, so people can join and find the Space by themselves. Get a simple, short URL or a QR code, share it on social media, over email or print a poster. With one click or scan, people will join your space and connect in an instant.

How to add Eurl:

Go into the Space where you want to add Eurl.
Click on the People tab at the top of the Space.
Click Add people.
Type Eurl to find the bot.
Click Eurl.
Click Add.

Eurl will now display a list of commands you can ask the bot to do, by typing @Eurl and then the command.
Type @Eurl url to get your shareable short URL and share away.
