How PointStack works, in short. Keyboard reference at the bottom.

Start a room in one click. No team needed.

Link it to a team later in room settings.

A room is one estimation session.

A team groups people and rooms and sets shared defaults, like the deck.

/rooms lists the rooms you started.

Pick a deck (fibonacci, t-shirt, etc.) in room settings (the gear).

Toggle options like auto-reveal and allow-guests.

Creators can edit settings any time.

Pick a card. The moderator reveals all votes at once.

Then finalise to lock an estimate.

The finalise default is the mode, the most common vote.

A revealed round keeps its votes until finalised, so switching stories never loses data.

Estimated means a final point was locked in.

Click the chevron on a backlog story to see who voted what.

Click a story status chip for its timeline (created, activated, revealed, finalised).

Everyone can see these.

React to a seat with an emoji.

Use chat for quick discussion. It is ephemeral, last 200 messages.

Join as a spectator to watch without voting.

Promote, transfer, or kick participants.

Kicking a moderator requires demoting them first.

A participant inactive for 5 minutes shows as idle on the table.

You can play as a guest.

Signing in keeps your rooms and history across devices.

A room holds up to 20 seats.

Every room has a unique URL. Share it to invite anyone.

Guests join if allow-guests is on.
