Gather Desktop is a virtual workspace application designed to help remote teams communicate and collaborate in a shared online office. It provides a visual environment where coworkers can see who is available and start conversations naturally. Users can move through virtual office spaces and communicate through proximity-based audio and video. The application supports scheduled meetings, spontaneous discussions, and collaborative working sessions. Team members can share multiple screens, exchange messages, and customize their workspaces. Presence indicators and availability settings help reduce unnecessary interruptions. Its desktop interface includes a compact Mini Mode for monitoring office activity while using other applications. The GitHub repository distributes desktop releases rather than application source code.
