gather.town Beginner course – How do I magically create my first virtual office?

Hybrid working has become the absolute standard these days. Almost every employee and executive has a reasonable level of proficiency in using video conferencing products, including Microsoft Teams. However, there is one aspect of any videoconference that falls far short – regardless of which conferencing system you use: social interaction! This is exactly where gather.town comes in. With gather, a large bouquet of options is available at a stroke to enhance your own conferences. These can be, for example:

• virtual teambuilding
• interact with other participants
• retreat to separate areas for a brief 1:1 conversation.
• implement gamification
• bind your own company logo and more Corporate Design and Corporate Identity elements
• and many more

Other events such as virtual after-work meetings or entire events (town halls, conferences, …) can also be implemented without major problems.

In our beginner course, we will teach you all the necessary basics with which you can design your own facilities. We focus on the on-board tools and don’t deviate to extremely complex methods such as the WebSocket API or the REST API. All learning content is directly implemented with practical examples and exercises and thus deepened.

You do not need any prior skills or accounts! All you need for the course is a PC or Mac, a stable internet connection (10 MBit or more recommended) with one of the following browsers:

• Microsoft Edge
• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
