Updates for August 1, 2021

🤸‍♀️ New Character Picker [Gradual Roll-out]
The new character picker overlays a pirate themed Space. The pirate character in the picker has the name Fancy Pants Jones. The new character picker includes categories for Body (Skin, Hair, Facial Hair), Clothing (Top, Bottom, Shoes), and Accessories (Hat, Glasses, Other). Each category has up to 9 color options: black, grey, white, blue, purple, red, yellow, brown, or green.
Avast, ye land lubbers! Time's come for a new-fangled character picker! Hundreds of custom combinations await, if ye dare! Customizable components include:
  • Skin tone
  • Hair (on your head and your face)
  • Shirts/ Dresses
  • Pants
  • Shoes, and
  • Accessories Galore!
Our wonderful Art team has been working tirelessly to help bring this to life. More options will be added over time. This feature will be gradually rolled out to make sure there aren't any surprise issues before going fully live on all Gather Spaces!

A screenshot of the beta Gather Plaza. The Plaza will offer co-working areas, seen in this image as carpeted areas with tables and chairs, to meet and network with other remote office users in Gather.
We are beginning explorations for the very first official “Gather Plaza,” a communal space designed to be a virtual hub, accessible right outside your remote work office's front door.
You will be able to mingle with employees from other companies connected to the plaza during lunch or after work. There will also be exclusive events held in the plaza for the beta cohort!
If you are interested in connecting your office to the Gather plaza, please fill out this form to join the waitlist!
