Gather Virtual Offices

Gather helps remote teams build a virtual office that brings everyone together. Talk naturally throughout the day, feel like you’re actually working together, and share moments that don’t have to be scheduled.
Bring back the feeling of working together
Sharing a virtual office helps you see what your coworkers are up to, making it easy to collaborate and feel connected to the company and team.
Talk naturally throughout the day
Stop by someone's desk, say hi in the hallway, and bring back water cooler chats. These casual conversations help build trust and strong bonds between teammates.
Share insights and ideas when inspiration strikes
Don't wait for the team standup. Walk over to someone to collaborate in the moment to keep everyone aligned and work moving forward.

I normally skip ads, but this was genuinely cool and seems like a interesting idea. Removes a lot of the pressure and stress of both kinds of work- in person and video call.

[@10dvvks.d.r.tharun15]

yea

[@MonkiMirai]

same i saw the ad and watched the whole thing, it’s really appealing

[@wobblyavocado3261]

I COMPLETLEY RELATE

[@MuhammadIlhamuodd254512]

I don't have this ad But I knew this before on social media This is online meeting meets classic pixel video game that are on next level

[@marimisty-biowonders4285]

me too

[@Aso-bi]

I usually skip ads but this one really caught my eye cause it's just... really creative and wholesome. The concept is a fun twist to the online chat room idea, and seeing it in a professional light just shows that fun, light-hearted and creative tools can totally be implemented into the industry. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves in the future.

[@Olliver666]

I saw this ad and was first intrigued in my friend’s name being the first thing I saw- but I kept watching because this is a really smart and clever way to make office life more fun. I love the customisation and Flexibility this app has, and it’s obvious how much effort you put into designing the small details, re. The follow feature. Gonna try using this in my workspace, exited to see how it goes!

[@zhufelix4795]

same! it was also my friends name the first thing i saw

[@MCheshire]

I know that the initial idea is a place of work or study, but this came at the perfect time when we were looking for a website to have an RPG map where we can interact with others

[@gabrielresound]

Love the site guys. Looking forward to a mobile friendly version. :-)

[@gather_town]

We're improving our mobile platform as we speak! Check it out on Safari and keep up with mobile updates here feedback.gather.town/changelog

[@NathanBowmanMusic]

Following up - bunch of new stuff went out recently, might be worth taking another look!

[@asfaltena]

@@gather_town is there an Android mobile version yet?

[@aecliam]

I love it! It's like playing and working/learning at the same time virtually with the people you should have been face to face. I hope my uni sees this. It'll make learning more fun.

[@kiarad4672]

Such an awesome idea!! Normally I skip ads instantly but when this one popped up I just had to watch it through. Can’t wait to see this possibly blow up and be used widespread :)

[@theunbanned4553]

I watched this ad through the end and now I share it with friends. Nice.

[@davidsimpson4550]

An Ad I cactually wanted to watch again Seems I wasn't the only one. KZbin also figured out how to make it easier to watch an Ad you actually like again. Took them only 17 years but finally some common sense over there.

[@jaem0001]

The Pros and Cons of this ad Cons : None, Beautifully taught. Pros : The way you guys show each and every single feature in their own distinct ways. The run in, the follow tool, the koi pond, ringing someone from another tab, and the spotlight tiles. You guys could make this have games, such as tag and a cool version of tag called Hunt. You need to find a random person in the office and when you tag them, you get another target. The person with the most tags win.

[@faerirs]

I think I might make one of these for my friend group, it feels much more lively than just looking at my friend's profile picture

[@Firestar-rm8df]

I agree. I normally maintain and run a small discord space for my gaming friends, but this seems really interesting and fun as an alternative. I would love to move to something more like this I think. Discord is great as a meta layer over other games and spaces, but using discord iteslf as a place to gather and talk just kinda feels... well you know, empty. But I and my other friends often don't like to be on video. I think this is a great solution to have a shared space, with genuinely charming avatars, and being able to have space management and voice chats in a way that has been clearly thought through, and that integrates well for occasional screensharing and other collaborative tasks that I would like to do at my PC.

[@Biginitiald]

Me and my team are currently using this and absolutely love it. We are a Web Dev team and love this whole idea. It lets us feel like we are in an office again, the little customization aspects and flare it has gives us a nice smile.

[@william2154]

My office has quite a bit of older workers and they're not as comfortable with technology. I love the idea, but I worry about whether its feasible to implement. This looks like something only startups where all the employees are trendy folks in their twenties and early thirties.

[@gather_town]

Thanks for voicing your concerns! There's definitely different ranges of comfortability that people have when first adopting our platform. We've seen a huge range of age groups, regional groups, and industry groups on Gather onboard successfully. We've even hosted several grandparent's birthday parties on Gather! We have a few guest guides and new user flyers that you can use. Feel free to email us through our contact us page to get those resources - www.gather.town/contact

[@bew5230]

I accidentally skip the ad so then I actually search this up haha this is really creative.

[@melhwearts]

I tried this- I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! Normally I skip ads, But this was really cool! I'm sharing it with everyone I know!

[@marcelmaria8363]

So it's basically like Zoom with many extra funtions and in a super understandable way for users of any age. Crazy cool actually.

[@vyy00bet]

Zoom meet pokémon. Lol

[@makaylab6276]

This advertisement made my day like no other has! This is such an amazing idea and I’m excited for its future!

[@ArgentuTA164-2]

The first frame immediately got me intrigued, since it had video game elements and online meeting elements both at the same time. I kept watching and my mind COLLAPSED.

[@ameenna810]

My Campus is on Gather.... Total fun....

[@user-hh6pu7ut2s]

this advertisement is my favorite ad!❤❤❤❤

[@GhastlyTheFirst]

I have a feeling this is going to be BIG!! What an amazing idea! :)

[@prussiaball1871]

what use is this going to have after the year is over? I feel like employees are going to be coming back into work after the pandemic is over with, Omicron is 87% less likely to land someone in the hospital and 91% less lethal, it's practically over already, only the unvaccinated are dying now

[@dayjob_]

@@prussiaball1871 too many people value the flexibility of remote work now for things to ever be the same. People won’t be going back to offices & working in cubicles if they can travel the world and work simultaneously. And if employers don’t allow for remote work it’s usually because they already invested so much money into their corporate real estate that they care less about the well being of the employees and more so about the workspace

[@asfghjklasdfghjkl9430]

i was gonna just skip this ad on yt but this is rlly cool hope this goes well

[@Fasteroid]

It's real life as an RPG! I am a gamer and I approve this platform.

[@jemmybloocher5803]

This may be one of the only ads I have not skipped! Love it!

[@TackyTrainer]

Actully like this ad, using it rn

[@JohnMiller-bs2ln]

I find this much more clever than Zuck's Metaverse!

[@HeadshotbunsTheGamer]

I would normally skip an ad, but like, I like the song. I'm still waiting for the soundtrack to this video.

[@prakh1250]

HOLY SHIT I thought of this when Covid first hit! Never had the skills to make something like this though...wow.

[@lukaslemos]

This is The future!! I Love it

[@juststopitsunsettlingmygoo4945]

WHERES DA soundtrack?!?!?!?!??!?!

[@witchkityyydraws9213]

I played this with my friends in online school it was honestly so fun, its so creative and diverse 😽

[@DaEvilDoc]

you said your tired of talking on voice chat but this is basically voice chat

[@Jonodmoo]

This is the only ad i never skip, she has such a nice voice, a big difference to the normal horrible voice actors you usually get in ads, And that with the music, and how the video moves so smoothly without just being a big joke

[@ilh-eun_editor_way]

I learned it at a coding academy in Korea and it was a really fun game. Children had fun and it was the best time!👍

[@rocket_1288]

this ad scratches an itch

[@SachinNishil]

Saw this ad on my facebook and it had me hooked. I used to play the old-style pokemon games back in the days and this reminds me of exactly that. I love the idea and I hope it blows up. You guys deserve it!

[@danielochoarodriguez3615]

I think you did one of the best ads ever. Even though I am completely against of your idea, you got my attention and the attention of many mates. Congrats

[@mcxcdx]

How could I skip this add. It is really cool. Brings gaming and work to an office. This shows the metaverse to regular everyday work in an office.

[@VionaShu]

I joined my first gather town conference last week, I really love the social presence it created for attendees. I actually get to know and chat 2 teachers just lie we did in physical conference, it is relatively not going to happen in other forms of virtual conference.

[@CatherineA133]

I had the opposite experience. I shouldn’t have to walk my character from conference room to conference room just to get the zoom link. Idc what my character looks like, just give me a zoom link to the talks I want to hear. I missed talks that I really wanted to hear because of this interface. This was a disaster for a professional conference and we still can only laugh about how silly it is to be basically playing a game boy game to access critical conference talks. I’m an older millennial with work to do and this is just silly and a waste of time.

[@runatrix]

@@CatherineA133 probably was not implemented correctly, it looks like videocall should pop up right there, not through a zoom link

[@johnwig285]

​@@CatherineA133what zoom link?? The presentation is live the moment u walk into the room.....there shouldn't be any links...having to click on zoom links defeats the whole purpose of this platform.

[@johnwig285]

​@@CatherineA133the whole point of the gamified experience is to literally make it more convenient for you. All you have to do is simply walk into different rooms for different presentations. How is that harder than signing up for different zoom calls, having to find the links for various calls? Not to mention, this promotes interactivity outside the rooms. How are you going to do that with just zoom alone?

[@CatherineA133]

@@johnwig285sorry, it didn’t work for us at the time.

[@willpatersondesign]

I've been using this with my team. They love it!

[@RobertGameDev]

At about 1:08 I see a theme change but nothing suggests where or how to do this. Help?

[@EspiFreelancer]

This is great! I've been waiting for something like that. I would love to work in an organization where they used it.

wow such a cool way to interact online in a virtual office, would never get to use this for anything but i just think its such a cool thing

[@MonkiMirai]

I WANT THIS TO BLOW UP SO BAD

[@MegaXstream]

Love the gamification of the situation. But it also freaks me out how everyone is turning this situation into something normal. The majority seems to accept a future where contact is an online thing only.

[@theodysseyowl]

I saw the ads for this, and had to try it out; I’m part of an online community, and we keep accidentally spamming people, so this was great

[@diamonddrawsthegoat]

It looks like a video game, I love it. Music is also a bop.

[@vibrationalpositivity]

LOVE ITTTTT!!! FULLY SUPPOR THIS!! LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY NEW UPDATES FOR THE FUTURE. Def will be using this!

Is there an expansion pack so I can also experience my gamified commute virtually?

[@redforestx7371]

BEST KZbin AD EVER

[@esdrassantos6831]

This is amazing, great Idea! I usually skip ads, but it is very interesting. It remembers Habbo game.

[@buzzerbee3166]

I have a suggestion if that is ok. I was thinking that if you guys could make this it would be great. You should make a few public servers that anyone can join to meet new people and test out gather. They could just be on the website and you could just join a random public server.

[@prussiaball1871]

well you see, that would actually make the product interesting and useful a year from now

[@gather_town]

Thanks for the suggestions! We used to have a public explore portal where people could apply to host public servers. We've taken them down temporarily to improve explore features and security. Keep an eye out on our changelog to hear updates gathertown.canny.io/changelog

[@josepelaez6494]

so cool!

[@ace_bean7011]

This is genius! Better than meta will probably get! Now I wish I had an office so I could do this lol

[@namelesscatz]

i loved this ad but i really dont see anyone active,its kinda sad cause this is a really cool idea,its really strange no one is active on gather :c

[@TatuRaivoso]

Eu fiz questão de não pular esse anúncio, muito bom!

[@lillydickerson4094]

y'know i think might just make one of these with my friends bc it sounds fun :)

[@arcadiansounds2850]

Also dave and Jeff are the same person. haha this is hilarious

[@doggirl.]

Didn't Branch take this idea first? They made a website initionally like discord with calling, whole rooms etc. but with a game like type. Gather Town is like a more developed version..

[@ramyayad6679]

Epic! Keep up the great work! 😎

[@puteaclick5554]

I really fail to understand what problem this resolves. I play a lot of games, but I don't want play time to be mixed with work and spend time and resources just to move an avatar to my next meeting. This brings nothing more than a slack and zoom can. And I will be really pissed if my direction or coworker forces this tool into me.

[@Tsumami__]

Two years later and y’all haven’t gotten the app down for mobile yet? Come on now.

[@CJLACE33]

Yo I love this game and am spreading the word

[@Mona-hw6dw]

Love this idea! would love to see if there is student level packages for University organizations/activities done virtually

[@gather_town]

Hi there! You can find all of our pricing packages and reach out for discounted pricing on our pricing page! www.gather.town/pricing

[@prussiaball1871]

While I think the idea is interesting, I don't quite understand the reason for it. Like I feel you could make it so much better than use it as an office space. Like for instance I could see a school doing something like this so the class would feel more involved. While I don't see most traditional schools using this method it certainly seems like a great Idea, especially for home school curriculum

[@gather_town]

Hi there! There are many use cases for our platform, with education being one of them, but this video was created just to highlight offices since we have had such great feedback from companies going fully remote and hybrid.

[@devy4304]

How do you do like the realistic mode thing, Or is it just clickbait IDK

Interesting concept, but for the cheesy gammer UX theme. I read another reviewer/commenter who wrote, "This looks like something for only startups where all the employees are trendy folks in their twenties and early thirties." I concur, but maybe it will be a hit with gamers ages 8-12.

Very interesting concept. Almost reminds me of gamification in a way. But I'm concerned that maybe it might be too early and people aren't ready for this yet. I guess only time can tell.

[@matheusdossantosalmeida6885]

Hi! Is there anyway that I can create an object in the MapMaker that is movable when we enter online? I mean, I don't want to move the object in the MapMaker, I want an object that I or my freinds can grab and put somewhere else in the map. There's a self-created map with a chess game where I can grab the chess pieces and release wherever I want, even outside the chess board. I want something like that. Is it possible to create something like that by myself in the map maker, or it exists only in the auro-generated maps?

Nothing works in this. Can't create a room from scratch because every single little thing is bugged.

[@lemonlab2126]

Have been playing around a bit and it looks amazing so far! At around 1:07 in the video you slide between looks, is this an option available or are those examples of custom made tiles?

[@gather_town]

Hello! That is a video effect to show different examples of how Spaces can have different styles, but actually sliding between this in real-time is not possible.

[@christiangutierrez4486]

Does it feature public links for example, clients? or is required to create account?

[@Phoenix-26]

This is very underrated

[@PLATFORM_HERE]

this actually seems awesome

[@DanielGarrido]

at 1:10 it shows same setup different design, is that really something you can do? I've been searching for that "change of looks" option, but I haven't found it yet

[@gather_town]

Hey there! you can completely customize how your Space looks! Gather has a bunch of templates and pre-made objects that you can place, but you can always create your own custom background and objects to add your own style! You can find more information in the linked support articles. support.gather.town/help/custom-map-overview support.gather.town/help/custom-objects
