"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Gather leaves nothing to be desired for Google Meet, Teams, Zoom, etc."

"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."

"We love to use Gather as our virtual office. It makes our day-to-day operations a lot smoother."

"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."

"Everything feels seamless; 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. It gives you all the benefits of being in an office without any of the downsides."

"Our office is beautiful and crazy at the same time, and you can see how everyone has left their mark on it by applying marvelous customizations. It's theirs, not ours, and that's amazing!"

"Gather is not just another video conferencing platform. It simulates a virtual office, where we can "walk" through the halls, sit at a colleague's desk for a quick meeting, or even have a virtual coffee in the "kitchen corner.""

"When people think about weme now, they think about our remote office on Gather. It’s an important part of our company."

"Gather has done more for Beatport’s engineering operations, culture, and productivity than anything else in the last 5 years."

"The ability to know when someone is available and willing to chat is extremely helpful for a fully remote team. When working in a physical office, you can easily walk up to a colleague to ask questions or work together. Remote work has added friction to that process and Gather helps us remove that barrier."

"Gather is more casual to go talk rather than spending all day in a Google Meet or sending a link in Slack."

"The best software I have used for remote meeting is now officially @gather_town. It's great for video calls outside of meetings. But the screen sharing and zooming and all the options available in Gather are simply divine."

"Our team has been Gather-ing together for a week now, and it's been a-maize-ing! 🌽 Having a virtual office space where we can hang out, chat, and collaborate has been so great for morale. One of our engineers, Taylor Guidon, took the lead on personalizing our Gather space and decorated it for fall, let us know what you think! It's a great way to create a sense of community and belonging within our remote team. I highly recommend it to other remote teams!"

"Gather recreates the feeling of being in an office while working remotely.

It feels natural—like how collaboration should work."

"It's been very productive working with Gather. Our team is 100% remote and we often had to arrange calls so that we could talk about day-to-day matters. With the tool we were able to improve communication and bring a little of the face-to-face spirit to the team."

"Zoom no more, Gather is in!! Thankful to have a team like this who shares the same interest as mine 🤓"

"Shoutout to Gather for transforming the way Strike operates remotely! 💙💜🧡 We’re a remote-first team, and Gather has turned our virtual office into more than just a workspace. We can pop over for quick chats, personalise our desks, hang out around a campfire, and—yes—even dance like no one’s watching! 🪴🔥💃 Being a successful remote-first company takes planning and intentional connections, and Gather makes it so easy. I recommend it to any team looking to level up their collaboration!"

"I love that it allows me to see who is meeting with whom and who is talking, even if I am not present in a meeting—similar to noticing an occupied meeting room in a real office. It brings some of the buzz of a physical office into the virtual space."

"While some people’s first reaction was a little sideways glance “Is that Zelda?” after a bit I realized Gather NAILED the perfect balance of silliness and efficiency. Too serious and it would have been awkward, too silly and it would have been a toy - but instead Gather has clearly thought through what made in-office collaboration work and built it right into the platform. You can create your own office space, stroll over to someone's desk, have open-door or closed-door meetings. Whether at a desk, meeting room, or when you walk by someone in the hallway, your camera and audio fade in and out just like you were there in real life!"

"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."

"Gather has completely blown away my expectations of what a virtual office would look and feel like. I get to have dozens of side conversations throughout the day with people I otherwise wouldn't interact with much. If you are a 50%+ remote company, you've GOT to try this thing out."

"Three years ago, Gather at Shuru was just an experiment that I started. 🌱 We dreamt of building a fully remote team that still embodied the values Diwakar Kaushik, Akashdeep Singh Kahlon, and I hold dear. Fast forward to today, our team strength grew 5X and Gather has become essential for every team member! It's like watching a tiny sapling grow into a strong, vibrant tree. If you catch me in person, I'll probably start gushing about it! 😄"

"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. "

"Who needs Google Meet when you have Gather."

"Having a virtual office space where we can hang out, chat, and collaborate has been so great for morale. [Gather] is a great way to create a sense of community and belonging within our remote team."

"Moving away from Zoom, where interactions were confined to scheduled sessions, has revolutionized our daily connections. Now, it’s like walking through a real office: team members bump into each other walking around the office, linger to chat after formal meetings, and spontaneously join or start discussions as they 'pass by' desks. This dynamic has brought to life a natural flow of conversation and collaboration, mirroring the organic interactions you'd find in a physical workspace. It's as close to real life as you can get without being in the same room."

"We've been using Gather for over 2 months now, and I've just seen improvements all across the board. From those small group huddles, to the big meetings, it's enhanced collaboration and communication everywhere. If you're a fully remote team, that's looking for ways to improve engagement, Gather is the way to go."

"Gather gives us the platform to do everything from morning stand-ups to Friday game sessions without missing a beat. For companies like Shortwave, Gather is the key to bridging the gap between remote workers and human connection."

"Stand-ups don’t have to be boring! We’ve found a tool that keeps our team engaged - Gather. It’s a virtual office where our team collaborates in a fun and efficient way, wrapping up meetings in just 15 minutes. Thank you Gather for bringing us together virtually."

"Managing a regional team across Thailand and Malaysia comes with incredible diversity—but also challenges in staying connected. With everyone focused on their own daily tasks, fostering real collaboration online isn’t easy. That’s where Gather shines. It’s more than just a virtual office—it’s a space where our team can "bump into" each other, sparking spontaneous conversations that mimic real-life interactions."

"2 weeks ago I tried something new with our team. Some employees weren't too keen on the idea: "Is this really necessary?" "Not another platform we have to use." 2 weeks later, they will riot if I have to remove this very platform from their lives 😅 If you have a remote team, I CANNOT recommend this platform enough!"

"The main advantage of Gather is that it provides the feeling of being in the office while preserving all the benefits of working from home. The platform allows you to see who is currently active, who is in a meeting, and who is available to answer work-related questions, fostering smoother and more efficient interactions."
