To set up a public room on Convene, follow these steps:

1. **Access the Convene Website**:
   * Go to [letsconvene.im](https://letsconvene.im/).
2. **Create a Room**:
   * On the homepage, click on "Create Room".
   * You do not need an account, phone number, or email to create a room. Convene generates an account ID and QR code automatically.
3. **Set Room Privacy**:
   * By default, rooms are private and encrypted. To make a room public, go to the room settings.
   * Disable encryption if needed, as public rooms might not require end-to-end encryption.
4. **Customize Room Settings**:
   * Add a room name, description, and any other relevant details.
   * Adjust permissions for who can join and post in the room.
5. **Share Room Link**:
   * Once the room is set up, Convene provides a shareable link. Distribute this link to participants.
   * Participants can join the room by clicking the link, without needing to create an account.
6. **Manage the Room**:
   * As the room creator, you can manage participants, moderate discussions, and adjust settings as needed.
   * You can delete the room or wipe messages at any time to maintain privacy.

For detailed instructions on privacy settings and customization, refer to the [security and privacy documentation](https://letsconvene.im/security) on the Convene website.
