# Group Roleplays

> Run one scenario with several people in the same call so a team can practice group conversations, panels, and multi-stakeholder meetings together

**Group Roleplays** let several people join the same session and talk with the AI characters at once. Use them for team huddles, panel practice, multi-stakeholder deals, or any conversation where the group dynamic between the humans in the room is what you're really practicing.

<Note>
  Group Roleplays are on the **Enterprise** plan. If your workspace doesn't have it, the toggle shows an upsell. See [Plans](/platform/plans) or contact us at [hello@exec.com](mailto:hello@exec.com) to enable it.

## When to Use a Group Roleplay

Reach for a group roleplay when the humans in the call are as important as the AI characters:

* **Team selling** — an AE and an SE practicing a discovery call with a champion and a skeptical VP
* **Panel practice** — two candidates or interviewers running a live panel with the AI
* **Manager and report together** — a manager coaching their rep through a live customer call
* **Cross-functional escalations** — support and engineering handling an angry customer as a team

If only one person practices at a time, keep the scenario solo. Group is for when the collaboration between the humans is part of what you're grading.

## Enable Group Roleplay on a Scenario

Group Roleplay is off by default. Turn it on per scenario in **Session Settings**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the scenario in Scenario Studio">
    Click the pencil icon on any scenario, or **⋯ menu > Edit Scenario**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to Session Settings">
    Find the **Group Roleplay** toggle alongside Enable Webcam, Enable Screen Share, and Video Avatar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle Group Roleplay on and click Apply Changes">
    Publish or apply the change. The next session picks up the new setting.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can also ask the agent to turn it on for you: "make this a group roleplay so my team can practice it together."
</Tip>

## Run a Group Session

Anyone on the scenario can start a group room and share a link. Up to **four people** can join one room.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start the session">
    Open the scenario and click **Begin Session**. On a group-enabled scenario you land in a **waiting room** instead of the live call.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite your teammates">
    Copy the invite link from the **Invite people to join you** card and send it to whoever should join. Anyone with the link joins the same waiting room.

    Reservations expire after 10 minutes if a browser never opens the link, and each room supports up to four confirmed participants for its lifetime.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the session together">
    Once everyone is in the waiting room, any participant clicks **Start Session**. The AI characters join, the recording starts, and the call is live.

    The roster is frozen at Start. Anyone who joined later than that can't join this attempt, but they can join a fresh room.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## During the Call

The controls change slightly for group calls. Instead of **End** and **Restart**, you get three exits:

| Control                  | What it does                                                                                                |
| :----------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **End Session**          | Ends and saves the call for everyone. Each participant gets their own scored session.                       |
| **Leave**                | Removes only you from the call. The others keep going, and you can rejoin from the same link.               |
| **Back to waiting room** | Abandons the current attempt and returns everyone to the waiting room so you can restart. Nothing is saved. |

Each action asks for confirmation before it fires.

<Note>
  If your connection drops during a group call — or a solo one — you have **60 seconds** to reconnect and rejoin the same session. Refresh the page or reopen the invite link to pick up where you left off.
</Note>

## Grading and Session History

Every participant gets their **own scored session** for the same call. Grading runs per person against the scenario's evaluation criteria, using a shared transcript that names each speaker so the AI Coach can tell who said what.

* Everyone sees their own session in **My Sessions**, with their own transcript, replay, and feedback.
* The transcript is the same conversation for everyone, but each participant is graded only on the parts they contributed.
* Coverage from a teammate counts where the scenario supports collaboration — you won't be penalized for a criterion your partner clearly handled.

***

## Tips

* **Use it for genuinely collaborative conversations.** If one person does 95% of the talking, run it solo instead.
* **Brief the group before you start.** Everyone sees the same scenario page and objective, but a quick real-world huddle about who's playing which role speeds the call up.
* **Pair Group Roleplay with Video Avatar for panels.** With multiple humans and animated characters, the tiles make it clear who's speaking. See [Video Avatar](/roleplays/advanced-building#video-avatar).
* **The link is single-purpose.** Each Begin Session creates a new room and a new link. To run the same scenario again, start a new session.
