Gather virtual workspace

Gather (also known as Gather.town) is a prominent video communication platform that utilizes a proximity-based video chat system within a 2D RPG-style virtual environment. Designed to facilitate remote collaboration and social interaction, it allows users to navigate digital offices or event spaces, where video and audio connections are established based on the proximity of their avatars.

The brand was founded in the United States by a group of engineers and entrepreneurs who sought to bridge the gap between physical office presence and remote work during the digital transformation of the early 2020s. Today, it remains an independent company headquartered in California, serving a global user base ranging from tech startups to academic institutions.

As a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product, its infrastructure and development are primarily managed in the United States, though the service is hosted on cloud servers that may be located in various regions worldwide to ensure low latency for its international users.
