The User Interface
The Collaborate with the Ultra Experience room looks very different to that in the Classic version, but still contains many of the Classic features which are now presented to the user via a more streamlined intuitive and aesthetic interface.
The image below shows the current default Ultra Room screen when you are the only one in the session.
