Moving to Gather 2.0
Follow this guide to set up your new office and transfer your team from Gather 1.0.
You’re ready to move to if:
If your team is fewer than 100 people and doesn’t require the Outlook Integration, mobile app, or SSO. If you require these features, you may have a better experience staying on Gather 1.0 for now.
1. Make your move-in plan
Creating your Gather 2.0 workspace takes less than 10 minutes. You can choose to invite your teammates immediately or spend extra time customizing the office. You’ll still be able to access your original 1.0 office while you get settled!
When you’re ready, communicate the change to your team so they’re not surprised. Use the following template.

2. Create your 2.0 office
Click here to get started. The app will walk you through initial setup. A few things to keep in mind:
Office Name:
You won’t be able to change this, so use the actual name you want. (Not Acme Co. Test!)
Invite 5 Collaborators:
Use this step to invite other admins. They can help you set up the office and onboard the rest of your team when you’re ready.
Office Template:
Choose the size, theme, and layout of your workspace. An Open layout makes every personal desk unlocked by default, making it easier to hear people around you when they unmute and talk to others. A Private layout makes every personal desk locked by default, so conversations stay private unless you invite someone to join in. A Hybrid layout places both types of desk in your office so you have the best of both worlds.

3. Customize it
Before inviting the rest of your organization, discuss the floor plan with your other admins. Determine where each team will sit and decide if you want to make any changes to meeting areas (more/less, bigger/smaller).
Customize your office with Gather Studio: the new and drastically improved version of the Mapmaker. Drag and drop rooms to move them around, click and drag to expand or shrink them, and add entire meeting rooms or team areas at once.
Open Gather Studio by going to the Main Menu (Gather logo on the left) and clicking 'Edit the office'.
To label a team area, click on it and edit the text box with the new team name.
To add a meeting room or team area, copy/paste an existing one or add a new one from the catalog.
To make an area smaller or bigger, simply click and drag it.
To delete a meeting room, team area, or object, click it and hit Delete.
When you’re done making changes, click Publish.
Best Practices:
Have each department or individual team sit in a Team Area together. (A group of desks.)
Name each Team Area so everyone else knows who sits there at a glance.
Arrange teams so they sit near other departments they commonly interact with. For example, the Engineering Team Area should be near the Product Team Area.

4. Onboard team members
The easiest way to add the rest of your team is to share an invite link in Slack, Teams Chat, or email.
To find your invite link:
Open the Main Menu and click Invite to office
Make sure the Members tab is selected and click Copy next to the link
Use the following template to share helpful getting started tips along with the invite.
Template:
It’s time to move into our new office on Gather! Here’s how to get started:
Download the Gather 2.0 desktop app
Click this link to join our office: [insert your office invite link]
Follow the onboarding steps, including connecting your Google Calendar
Uninstall the old Chrome extension (follow this link & click Remove from Chrome)
Install the new 2.0 Chrome extension
Find your team area and claim a desk!
Move existing meetings to our new office (use the Chrome extension or manually add a new room link)
While many things will feel familiar, there are a few important differences to keep in mind compared to our original office:
Open desks are no longer private by default, so we can overhear conversations around us and easily jump in [Include if you select an Open or Hybrid layout]
If you don’t want people to overhear a conversation, you can still lock it anytime or walk into a meeting room
Your status can automatically update based on your calendar events and show which app you’re currently using – you can set this up in settings
Speaking of settings – there are lots of new ones! Review them on your own to set your preferences for notifications, auto-locking your desk, etc.
[add any other callouts you think are important for your team]
We know this is a big change, and we’re here to help make this transition as smooth as possible. If you need help, look for me [and other admin names] in the office, or read Gather’s 2.0 Getting Started Guide.

10K+ teams collaborate faster with Gather
Remote work doesn't have to feel slow. See how these teams transformed their culture.
"We needed a space that felt more natural. That’s when we switched to Gather as our virtual office. Now, dropping by a teammate’s desk takes seconds. Ideas flow without the friction of scheduling meetings. Feedback happens in real time, just like in a physical office. The result? Faster iteration cycles. Higher-quality design work. A stronger, more connected team. And most importantly—happier clients."
Siddharth Vij
Co-Founder at Bricx
"I’ve always loved the energy and focus of a war room during crunch time—it’s where the magic happens. Gather has given us the ability to recreate that intense, collaborative environment remotely, which is absolutely invaluable."
Billy Luedtke
CEO of Intuition Systems
"Gather is the cornerstone of our communication and collaboration at Human-I-T now. It’s hard to think of a situation or a world where we're not using Gather to collaborate."
Gabe Middleton
CEO & Co-Founder at Human-I-T
"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. Team culture happens in the moments between meetings and we were hungry to get back into that norm. When we found Gather we instantly fell in love with it."
Mike Mengell
CTO and Co-Founder of CTO Labs
"Gather leaves nothing to be desired for Google Meet, Teams, Zoom, etc."
Igor V.
Head of Operations
"Gather brings back the things that you don't realize you miss when working from home like: Popping by someone's desk or joining in group conversations when you see some people grouped together. A far better alternative to Teams."

"One of the things we miss about being in an actual office is the casual chats—those quick "Hey, can I ask you something?" moments. Gather lets us do that virtually! You can literally walk over to someone’s desk for a quick chat, which keeps communication smooth and fast, just like in a real office. We have dedicated spaces for meetings, focus time, and even client calls. This structure helps us keep things organized while allowing for those quick drop-ins when someone needs help or input. No more bouncing between different apps—everything happens in one place."

All you need to know
Do I have to migrate to Gather 2.0 right now?
No, you can choose to move your team to Gather 2.0 whenever it makes sense for your organization. As long as you have a paid subscription, you can continue using your 1.0 office until you’re ready.
Will I have to create a brand new office to use Gather 2.0?
Yes. You’ll set up your new 2.0 office with our improved office builder, Gather Studio, which makes the whole process fast and easy. Your team can choose to migrate on September 15th, or at a later date that works best for your company. Your current office will remain fully functional during the transition as long as you have a paid subscription.
If you have any questions about migrating your team from 1.0 to 2.0 after September 15th, 2025, contact sales.
Can I still access my 1.0 Gather office once I move to 2.0?
Yep! Your original office won’t disappear, and you can continue to use it as long as you have an active subscription. Sign in to Gather 1.0 here.
How is pricing different in Gather 2.0?
Gather 2.0 uses a member-based model. You pay for your team, not your guests. It’s simpler and more predictable.
Gather 1.0 charged based on concurrent users, which often meant estimating how many people might be online at the same time.
If you have questions about your subscription, feel free to contact us.
Can I add more Members to my 2.0 office in the future?
Yes! Once you’re settled into your 2.0 office with an active subscription, we want it to be as easy as possible to expand Gather across your organization. When you add a new member, they get their first 14 days free.
What’s the difference between Gather 2.0 and 1.0?
Gather 2.0 is a completely new platform, rebuilt from the ground up with a modern, simplified UI and powerful new features for remote teams. It offers more ways to stay connected (overhear conversations and join in with a click!), provides more context about what people are working on (see live App Status), and includes more integrations (like GitHub and Spotify!).
Gather 1.0 is the original virtual office platform that you know and love. Click here to view a full comparison.

Yes. You’ll set up your new 2.0 office with our improved office builder, Gather Studio, which makes the whole process fast and easy. Your team can choose to migrate on September 15th, or at a later date that works best for your company. Your current office will remain fully functional during the transition as long as you have a paid subscription.
If you have any questions about migrating your team from 1.0 to 2.0 after September 15th, 2025, contact sales.
Can I still access my 1.0 Gather office once I move to 2.0?
Yep! Your original office won’t disappear, and you can continue to use it as long as you have an active subscription. Sign in to Gather 1.0 here.
How is pricing different in Gather 2.0?
Gather 2.0 uses a member-based model. You pay for your team, not your guests. It’s simpler and more predictable.
Gather 1.0 charged based on concurrent users, which often meant estimating how many people might be online at the same time.
If you have questions about your subscription, feel free to contact us.
Can I add more Members to my 2.0 office in the future?
Yes! Once you’re settled into your 2.0 office with an active subscription, we want it to be as easy as possible to expand Gather across your organization. When you add a new member, they get their first 14 days free.
What’s the difference between Gather 2.0 and 1.0?
Gather 2.0 is a completely new platform, rebuilt from the ground up with a modern, simplified UI and powerful new features for remote teams. It offers more ways to stay connected (overhear conversations and join in with a click!), provides more context about what people are working on (see live App Status), and includes more integrations (like GitHub and Spotify!).
