For remote teams, I literally just want Slack but with named voice channels visible to everyone in the sidebar for discoverability.
It sounds like you want Discord.
Makes me think there must be something up with their security, I can't think of any other reason why they wouldn't give private paid plans for businesses.

Facebook is hosting a networking event for PyTorch Developer Day through gather.town so I am interested to see how that goes. Maybe I will see if gather.town is indeed significantly better for a social event vs. attending posters.
My boss got excited about this a few weeks back, but none of the rest of the office wanted to really use it (and we had some issues with video/audio feeds). I don't really get the idea: what problem does this solve that Slack/Zoom/etc don't? The whiteboard seems OK but no software can solve the problem that drawing with a touchpad sucks.

If you read the founders comment, they mention a lot of other use cases in addition to offices/work. I would probably really dislike using this with coworkers or for "in the office." But I can imagine it being a good fit with some of the other, more social use cases.
