Meetings without the hassle

No links, no scheduling—just walk up and talk. Gather enables instant, spontaneous conversations for faster decision-making.

We knew there must be a better way of collaborating in a mostly remote world that’s not 8 hours of back-to-back Zoom calls. When we found Gather, we instantly fell in love with it.

More engaging & human

Pop by a teammate’s desk or greet them in the hallway. Gather isn't just about meetings – it brings back those fleeting moments you miss from being in the office together.

If you're tired of endless Zoom calls and missing the organic interactions of office life, Gather provides a refreshingly different approach that actually works. It's the closest thing to having a real office in the virtual world, and in some ways, it's even better.

Built-in collaboration tools

Share multiple screens, brainstorm on interactive whiteboards, and give instant feedback with screen annotations. Gather offers the features you need to move work forward.

Everything feels seamless; you can share your screen, others can do the same, and there’s no need to juggle multiple apps. You just walk into a virtual room and instantly interact with whoever’s there, just like in a physical space.

Skip the rigid meeting structure

Instead of wasting time coordinating, scheduling, and planning meetings that really only need to be a 5-minute conversation, just go talk to people. Gather makes dynamic, real-time conversations the norm.

It's incredibly helpful to have a visual map of what everyone is doing and be able to call people over to your desk, or walk up to a teammate and ask a question. It feels easier than sending them a Zoom or Google meeting invite link.

Frequently asked questions

Why do remote teams prefer Gather over Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams? 

Customers like the ease of interacting with others on Gather rather than the rigidity of scheduling meetings. They report scheduling fewer formal meetings in favor of quick, impromptu conversations. On average, they collaborate 5x faster on Gather. The average conversation is under 10 minutes, compared to an average meeting length of 52 minutes on Zoom. (Source.)

According to Lenny Rachitsky, host of Lenny’s Podcast and Lenny’s Newsletter, Gather is one of the most interesting up-and-coming tools for work communication in 2025. This is based on his annual “What’s in Your Stack?” report, which surveys 6,500 tech professionals and asks about the tools they use most in their work.

Where does Gather fit within our tool stack?

Gather replaces Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet as the primary meeting tool for most teams. Instead of only opening Gather for meetings, each person keeps the app open for the duration of the workday so it’s easy to talk to people at any time. 

For chat, Gather will co-exist with your current tool. Gather chat is best suited for conversations during meetings or office announcements.

Does Gather offer a free trial?

Yep! Get started for free with a 30-day trial for up to 50 people. After that, you can continue on the free plan (limited to 10 users) or upgrade to Premium for more users, more powerful features, and premium support. View pricing here.
