A screen in a room shows a short code. You type it here and your laptop appears on that screen. There is no cable, no app to install, and you do not have to be on the same wifi.
Look at it. It shows an address and six characters. Type the six characters above and press Share my screen, then choose which window or screen to show. Press Stop sharing when you are done, or just close the lid.
Then there is nothing to join yet. Room only does anything once some screen in some room is showing a code.
Open this address on the computer that is plugged into the TV or projector, and press Set this computer up as a big screen. That machine then shows the code, and everybody else does what is described above.
Only whoever is looking at that screen. The picture travels straight from your laptop to the machine driving it wherever the network allows, and through a relay when it does not. Nothing is recorded and nothing is kept.
