# Prayer Rooms beta is ready for mobile testing

*June 17, 2026*

[Back to changelog](/changelog/index)

Prayer Rooms are now available as a beta experience from the mobile Connect page.

## What's New

* Members can open `Connect` and enter the `Prayer Rooms` beta area.
* Hosts can create audio or video prayer rooms and move directly into the room.
* Rooms support speaker, listener, host, and moderator behavior.
* Audio rooms show connected participants, mute state, and speaking state.
* Video rooms use a compact meeting layout with participant controls.
* Hosts can end a room and remove participants from the live session.
* Rooms can be locked, scheduled, recurring, or configured with recording consent.
* Recording and prayer clip workflows support consent-aware room settings.
* Room giving can be enabled with a goal amount.
* Native room giving is used when the church has a connected payment provider.
* External giving links remain available as a fallback when native payment setup is not ready.
* The room view can show tracked giving progress for native gifts.

## Why This Matters

Prayer Rooms give churches a live ministry space for prayer, support, and hosted gatherings without requiring a separate meeting tool.

The beta label helps teams test the experience carefully while audio, video, recording, and room giving continue through final QA.
