What's New

Set your company email domain(s), and automatically make someone a Member when they sign in to your office with an email that matches. This helps them get the most of Gather without Admins having to individually manage membership. 

‍

Make your meetings more productive and collaborative! Leave real-time feedback on documents, designs, or presentations, and sketch new ideas directly on shared screens. 

When someone shares their screen, now you can choose whether video tiles display on the side or underneath the screen. Plus you can click and drag the border to resize the shared window.

We’re elevating the meeting experience on Gather. Videos are larger and higher-resoltion, connection times are faster, sorting is smoother, and a few features are easier to find in the new top navigation bar. (Copy the meeting link, lock the area, and walk back to your desk when the meeting is done!) 

If we notice a meeting outside of Gather on your calendar, we’ll automatically set your status to Do Not Disturb so your teammates know you’re unavailable on a separate call.

When the meeting ends, we’ll switch you back to Available so everyone can see you’re free. 

Now you can use meeting links, invite links, and even the space URL to join a meeting on the Mobile App. If your office has Guest Check-In enabled, guests will check-in just like they would on the Desktop App or a browser. 

Message anyone in your office whether they’re on or offline, and mention people directly in your chat messages by tagging them (“Hey @Riley!”). Plus you can choose from a wider variety of emojis when reacting to messages, to add even more personality to your chats.

Click and drag to look around your space, or zoom out to get a birds-eye view. This update makes it easier to see activity in your office.

Create groups, delete messages, add attachments, and react with emojis! 😄 We’ve revamped Chat to make it easier to interact and share messages with your team.

Never guess who should speak next. We’ve made several improvements to help you know exactly when teammates have raised their hands, including numbers to indicate the order. You can even toggle whether your hand automatically lowers or not after you speak. 

Stay engaged even when presenting in full screen from the Gather Desktop App. It’s now easier to see meeting participants, chat messages, hand raises, and reactions. Plus you can click-and-drag to resize the window, so it’s always the right size on your screen. 

Our new Gather Meetings Outlook Add-In allows you to easily add a Gather meeting link to new events created in Outlook so attendees can join in a click. Install it today to seamlessly create and join meetings from Outlook calendars.  

Explore tailored insights in team activity, engagement, and collaboration. See how behavior changes over time and track the metrics you need for successful onboarding.

Can’t read the text on someone’s shared screen? You now have the option to zoom in, making it easier to see what’s important without disrupting the conversation.

Gather is now SOC 2 Type II certified! To request a copy of our report, please contact our sales team and we'd be happy to assist you.

Share audio from apps or a browser tab when you screen share with the Desktop App. This makes it easier to share videos or music with your team. 

Now you can upgrade to an Annual Subscription and easily manage capacity right from your Space Dashboard. Go to the Plans & Billing tab to upgrade now and save 15%. 

See at a glance who’s online and talking, and easily find people to collaborate with. Pin your favorite teammates to the top, see where meetings are happening, and walk over in a click.

Hide your camera view from yourself during conversations while still being visible to others. You can access your video feed anytime from the bottom navigation bar.  

No worries if someone can't attend a meeting. Use the record button in the bottom navigation bar to record conversations and download the recordings for up to 5 days. Available now for all premium offices.

After lots of improvements, the Gather Desktop App is more reliable, offers enhanced features, and never gets lost in a browser tab. Download it for Mac & Windows for the best Gather experience.

Now you can customize the font, color, and size of a text label, in addition to editing it after you’ve placed it in the space. Available for anyone with Mapmaker access.

Working in a noisy environment? Don’t fret! We’ve partnered with Krisp to automatically dull out distracting background noise so you can focus on your conversations. 

See who's talking in your space and join in a tap. This update makes it easy to join conversations on the go even when there’s no meeting scheduled. Available for iOS and Android. 

We've updated the look of people, places, and things so you can express yourself and your team in your own colorful, authentic, pixel-perfect way. 

Stay connected to your team even when you’re on the go. Seamlessly create and join meetings, see upcoming events, and engage in the conversation no matter where you’re working from.

We're leveling up security to your virtual office by offering SSO on our Virtual Office Enterprise Plan. To learn more about upgrading, talk to our Sales Team.

To better serve our global users, we’ve added two new languages to the Gather app: Japanese and Portuguese. Choose your region in your settings to localize your experience. 

Invite guests to your remote work office with peace of mind. This update introduces new ways to manage guests and know when they’re trying to enter your office.

Display a mini Gather window so you can still see activity in the office even when you're working in other apps. This also helps save screen space while sharing your screen. To try it, download the Gather Desktop App.

Grid View now displays up to 25 videos and/or screen shares at a time, helping you see everyone and everything you need during larger meetings. 

Waving is a natural way to get someone’s attention. After you wave, your teammate can choose to wave back, walk over to talk, or send a chat message. 

Leave a thoughtful note on someone's desk for their birthday, work anniversary, or just a job well done. It's an excellent way to recognize your co-workers and create a sense of community while working from anywhere. 

Set up your personal workspace within the virtual office. This is where coworkers will look for you to see if you're free to talk and also the perfect place to show off your personality at work.

Disguise distracting backgrounds with new built-in video effects. Turn on background blur, use one of our virtual backgrounds, or upload your own image.

Get real-time native OS notifications while using the Gather Desktop App. These notifications make it easier to know what's happening in Gather and jump back into your office so you never miss the important moments with your team.

You can now jump into team meetings in your virtual office straight from Slack. With this integration, simply type “/gather” in a Slack chat with the coworkers you’d like to meet with.

Lately we've been focused on the details: The small improvements and bug fixes that make Gather easier to use, more reliable, and sometimes just a little more fun! Read this recap to learn about all 116 improvements.

We've updated the Emote Bar to make it easier to raise your hand when you have a question and react with your favorite emojis during meetings. You'll see these in the new Reaction Feed so it's easy to keep a pulse on the mood of the meeting.

If two people are walking toward each other and both use the wave emote, you’ll high-five! It’s a fun way to share a moment with your coworkers, no video or chat required. You’ll even hear a satisfying clap sound to make it even more real!
