# Add a seminar room

To create a new room for use in seminars, follow these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Seminars > Rooms*.
2. Click **Add a new room**.
3. Complete the [settings](/19/docs/seminar-room-settings) as required.
4. Optionally give the asset a description.
5. Complete any **Custom fields** that you've added.
6. Click **Add a room**.

Only users with the required capabilities can manage and add rooms. To add site-wide rooms users must have the **mod/facetoface:managesitewiderooms** capability, and to create rooms in specific seminar activities on an ad-hoc basis they must have the **mod/facetoface:manageadhocrooms** capability.
