Gather Meetings Extension

Ready to make meetings more productive, immersive, and fun for your remote team? Host your team on Gather with a newly optimized meeting experience!

In an all-new meeting experience with the Gather Meetings extension, you can:

• Add a Gather meeting link on your Google Calendar invitation that automatically takes you to an open Private Area in your space
• Automatically select a Private Area in your Gather Space with the right capacity for your meeting
• Generate a one-click link that brings participants directly to the meeting when it starts

In Gather, remote teams work naturally, build relationships, and collaborate side-by-side, even when they’re miles apart. Try Gather for free at https://app.gather.town/get-started

Remember: If you’re a Space Admin or Builder, open the app's Mapmaker and give existing Private Areas a name and occupancy limit. You can also edit the Area names directly from the Participants Panel. If you don’t have any dedicated meeting areas yet, we recommend you build out a few for different sizes of meetings, or you can check out new Office Templates that come with some pre-existing options.

By installing this extension, you agree to the Gather Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at https://www.gather.town/terms-of-service and https://www.gather.town/privacy-policy

Sab Selvam (ID: 000000669d91bb10) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/26/2023 I don't understand why you would force me to use the app. If the respective PM is looking at this - I am not retaining "because" of the app. I also did a quick check internally and many people in the team feel the same way. The browser allows me to screenshare specific tabs and windows which just ins't possible from the app and I have no idea what I am presenting. Please bring back the browser login.
