Step 13. Share the link with your friends

Paste the link in a message to your friends to invite them to play in your room. For example, you can send the link by e-mail or Whatsapp message or post it on social media or a forum. To paste the copied link, right-click and then click To stick. Up to twelve people can play in a private room.

The friends you invite will first be sent to the homepage of the website. Here they have to enter their name and possibly adjust their avatar. When they are done with this, they click the green button that says Play.
If the link doesn't bring your friends to the private room, you can try to copy the link by right-clicking it and then clicking To copy instead of using the copy button. If that doesn't work either, you can try typing the link.
