Wanted to say that out of all the alternatives, this seems most interesting. Is there an info or about page where I can read your approach?

My immediate response was to shut off my camera and drag my icon all the way to the corner of the screen so I can work alone. If the goal is to reproduce the distracting nature of the open office, I gotta say projects like this are a huge success. Also, streaming live video all day every day for no reason seems like a waste of resources on all parts.
I can see how this would be a cool tool for normal social events like parties and conferences though! Just not every day work please.
- What tools have you used successfully? For what number of people concurrently?

I personally think this space is going to be big as people adapt to permanently remote or fully remote.
I'm getting closer to an MVP, and am interested in finding a co-founder. I'd love to find people interested in this space!

I think this is more geared towards orgs that are not really remote. They're just replicating the office environment online. In order for this to work I'd have to work all day with a camera on my face, if I understood this correctly. This sounds awful to me. I do think this would be really cool/fun for events, but for day-to-day work, I'd absolutely hate it.

Yeah I wasn't sure, is that what they're suggesting as the use-case? Always-on video and mic sounds awful, even if most of the time no one sees it. My home is not my office, my "home office" is just a desk in my living room and I share this space. So opening a window to my home is, f…
1/ What's your strategy to standout from the pool of virtual event tools?

I used gather as part of a social gathering with my university cohort and enjoyed it. Only oddity for me was one situation where a group of 3 of us had the person in the 'middle' hearing both, but the two on the outside could only hear or see the middle person. We tried expanding the 'circle range' thingy but then could hear the conversation happening across the room. I wish there was some way to make that whole proc…
Was there a reason that, in this case, you couldn't all walk closer to each other? We additionally have "private spaces" you can set up so that everyone in that area can see/hear each other: https://gather.town/features#feature-private-spaces . People often use this so that they can sit down on chairs and talk to only the other people at the table.

was the arrangement if I recall. I think the spaces thing would work well but sounds like it could remove some of the fluidity of meeting anywhere, bumping into people in the 'hallway', etc.
Congratulations on the launch! Thoughts on competitors like Gatherly? https://www.gatherly.io/
