Video-calling space that lets multiple people hold separate conversations in parallel, walking in and out of those conversations.
Gather Town is a virtual event platform designed for remote teams, educators, and event organizers who want to recreate the natural interactions of in-person gatherings in a digital space. Its standout features include a 2D video-calling environment where participants can walk around and join conversations organically, customizable virtual spaces, and the ability to host multiple simultaneous conversations. The platform is perfect for remote team building, virtual conferences, online classes, and social events that require more natural interaction than traditional video calls.
Virtual spatial video meetings
Gather Town announces it will remain an independent, non-venture-backed business dedicated to improving virtual workspaces. While the Gather AI team transitions to Figma to enhance collaborative software design, the current Gather platform will continue unchanged. The leadership expresses gratitude to users for their trust and commitment to innovation in remote work.
Gather recorded a conversation with Raphael Baltar (Meetz), Lucimara Mendes Costa (NEXTI), and Felipe Costa (LOUD) about using Gather to lead distributed teams. They describe creating walkable virtual offices, open- and closed-door conversations, and spatial audio/video that fades in/out for natural interactions. They say spontaneous hallway encounters foster brainstorming and create a stronger sense of team presence than traditional tools.
Gather Town introduced new avatar animations so emote reactions trigger matching character movements (wave, celebrate, laugh). Reactions are now visually expressed in-world, letting teams see and feel the shared vibe during interactions.
Gather Town users can now drive a personal go-kart avatar for faster navigation. Hold Shift and use the arrow keys to accelerate and steer through spaces for playful, quicker movement.
Gather Town's Spotify integration is available in Coworking Sessions, letting teams share and lock playlists to create a synchronized focus environment during collaborative work.
